City of Perth from the Sky, a photo from Western Australia, West

Photographer's Note

This is what my city of Perth looks like from the aircraft. Since the seat belt sign was still on, I could not choose a vantage point. I had to make do with what I had. Luckily, I had a clear window, not one that is fogged up.

The camera is facing almost North. The tall buildings in the centre of the photo are the ones in the CBD (Central Business District). To the West of the CBD is King's Park which is basically a natural spot in midst of a concrete jungle. It has some nature walks and a view of Perth city to die for. It also has an ANZAC memorial.

To the south is the Narrows Bridge which spans the Swan River. To the South of the Narrows Bridge, is South Perth and then the other Southern suburbs of Perth.

The Kwinana freeway runs over the Narrows Bridge.

I have adjusted the levels of this photograph and then passed it through the Helicon Noise Remover (freeware).

Nice shot of the city centre although, as a Perth resident, I think that the post-processing has changed the colours too much. The light in this shot doesn't look like Western Australia to me, it's too harsh.

Good effort.

Im a Kiwi with interest in working in the Heavy Transport sector in Perth and am wondering on the big move to Western Australia. I think My umbilical cord is still attached to my mother. But will still consider the beautiful country of Australia.

Lovely pic.
