HEAVY RAIN IN FREMANTLE

 

 

 

Good Saturday morning Freo!

A lot of very heavy showers kept me awake overnight, but I do have an early start on Saturdays anyway for 7am coffee with my good friend Henty.

I took these photos just after 8 am in Fremantle port and the High Street mall.

MELISSA PARKE PHOTOSHOOT FOR VELVET SUSHI

 

 

Delightful and beautiful former federal Labor MP Melissa Parke has done a fashion shoot for Fremantle Velvet Sushi, and she looks great.

Melissa has been wearing the lovely fashion of Freo designer Deborah McKendrick for years, and agreed to do the photo shoot with photographer David Woolley and hair stylist Pink Nakia, while Deborah art directed the shoot.

Velvet Sushi recently relocated from William Street to 5 Bannister Street, opposite the Stablehands cafe. It is a very cosy small boutique, so all you gorgeous women out there, go and check it out!

HAPPY FREMANTLE NOTRE DAME UNIVERSITY

 

 

Here a happy photo to start the Friday with. A Notre Dame University building in Fremantle’s West End reflected in some of the university’s posters.

I took it yesterday afternoon when the sun was shining.

DIFFERENT VIEWS OF FREMANTLE

 

 

Even after over twenty years of wandering the streets of Fremantle, someone once called it loitering with intent, I always find new images to shoot, as I did this cold Friday morning.

STEPPING UP IN FREMANTLE

 

Stepping up for one’s community can be challenging, but it is often a beautiful experience.

Steps at Little Creatures in the Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour. All that beauty in the ordinary, hey! ; >)

I just love Freo! I love being part of this great community and this unique city.

Took this photo a couple of hours ago from the Roundhouse steps.

Before hopping on the train this morning I had some time to spare, so I took these sunrise photos at Fremantle Fleet Street and Victoria Quay.
