I decided that on my ride this afternoon that i'd take some pics. A meander was kind of nice!(Trekhawk & I sort of did this ride last week) It was REALLY windy near the coast but no rain!
Sorry if the photos are a bit big!
First pic-view of perth from Matilda Bay
Second-Cottesloe Beach & man was there a gale!
Third-One of many statues around the city, this one's quite famous for people putting clothing or signs on it if it's someone's birthday etc.
Last-The Blue Shed..I think that's the name?

Not sure if these will show up. I grabbed them from my facebook. If they don't show up you're missing Beanfield, Cornfield, and Happy Little Clouds.
6am rides in East Central IL are really really peaceful!

hmm
Sundial-it's just a bit brisk, not cold. The lows for this "winter" have been to 2C, not cold at all! THen again, I wear shorts when it's 2C outside. The weather on my ride was really unpredictable & thought the yellow jacket would be a good idea. Turned out I only needed it in a few parts where there were pockets of rain & wind. Perth weather is annoying...
I have no idea who the statue is dedicated to...I'll ask some folks & let ya know.
Jillm-do you ever see any grain elevators? I love grain elevators.

Fields, hills, castles, castle farms, an airfield, lots and lots of orchards, breweries, deer, rabbits, falcons, cows, horses, a dungeon, a monastary, a beguinage, very old churches (the eldest is 1200 years old, 2 kms from here), the tgv, a windmill...
Never a dull moment on my rides.
