WET AND WILD FREO SUNDAY

 

 

It is very windy in Fremantle with a lot of heavy rain forecast, so best to stay warm and cosy at home with a book and watch the West Coat Eagles game.

The good thing about stormy weather are the clouds, so maybe we’ll get a stunning sunset like this one I took early this week.

MORE RAIN TO COME

 

 

There are some pretty heavy showers in Fremantle this morning, but it is just a warning of things to come, with big storm expected late this afternoon.

I could not see the Norfolk trees at South Beach from my balcony and the fine mist of rain also largely obscured the North Quay cranes.

Perfect weather for the gardens and for staying at home with a good book, but not great for one of the last days of school holidays.

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!

BAD WEATHER MOVING IN

 

 

It looks like the predicted bad weather is moving in quite fast, as this photo taken at about 9.30am at Fremantle’s Bruce Lee oval shows. Batten down, Freo!

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. ;>))

GET READY FOR A WET AND WILD WEEKEND

 

 

The weather forecast for the weekend is wild and wet, and it looked like that for a while this morning when I walked along the Fishing Boat Harbour.

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.
