DRIZZLE ART OF FREMANTLE PORT
A mist of drizzle rain made it near impossible to see the North Quay cranes from the South Mole, but is created an arty photo through the passenger side window of my car.
More heavy showers and thunder forecast for this evening and tomorrow, so stay dry and safe, Freo!

NOT HAVING THE BLUES
Another arty photo I took yesterday in Perth, just to show I don’t need puddles to be creative. ;>))

THE FINE FREO ART OF REFLECTIONS
The in art circles around the world widely acclaimed Loopy’s Stanbury Series is an ongoing project of reflections on surfaces around Fremantle, from puddles, to windows, car bonnets and roofs, and of course water. I took this photo in Fremantle Port yesterday afternoon.
There is beauty and art in everything for those of us who are observant. Life is good in Freo!

PS. I am of course kidding when I claim the worldwide attention for my photos. ;>))

GLEN COWANS UNDERWATER PHOTO GALLERY RE-OPENS
The Covid-19 pandemic saw many Fremantle businesses close and one of them was the Glen Cowans underwater photography gallery next to the historic Roundhouse.
I am delighted to tell you that Glen and Louise have decided to re-open the beautiful gallery starting this weekend.
For the time being the gallery will only be open on Saturdays and Sundays, and if the weather is fine also on Fridays, so go and have a browse and buy some outstanding photos.
They are open from 10.30am to 3.30pm. Welcome back!

THE THERAPY OF FREO PHOTOGRAPHY
I dedicate these photos to Neil Stanbury, the very likeable Manager Corporate and Community Relations at Fremantle Ports.
Neil sent me a, tongue-in-cheek, email last week asking if I needed therapy for my puddle reflection photos. I think it is too late for that as I love taking photos of reflections on all kinds of reflective surfaces, as readers of Freo’s View well know.
For me it is all about awareness and being in the moments when I walk the streets of Freo, and not losing touch. It is like a walking meditation for me to hunt for photos. To discover a great reflection is better than drinking a bottle of Grange Hermitage for me. ;>))

THE WONDERFUL ART OF PUDDLES
I promise! My last rain art photo today of a reflection of the Tourist Wheel ferris wheel on the Fremantle Esplanade.
The weather is clearing and there is a whole new old world out there to re-explore. Visit the pubs, go shopping, enjoy beautiful Freo!

FREMANTLE RAIN ART
Wonderful to be woken up this morning by very loud thunder, lightning and heavy rain. I love the force of nature!
Wandered around Fremantle for a bit after coffee at Chalkys and took some reflection photos, which I publish upside down. The art of rain.

FREO UPSIDE DOWN UNDER
In difficult times it is even more important to try to see life from all perspectives, so since this photo of the Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour has so many fans I decided to turn it upside down, and I believe it has even more impact than when it is shown the right way.
I leave it to the philosophers among you to argue if reality can be surreal. ;>))
