The whole trip was an experience of the natural world of the south-west which is existing in all its splendour out of sight and mind of the majority of Perth’s population. A place which is quietly going about its millennial routines, while the city’s denizens further north shoot here and there, oblivious to the subtle winter beauties of the south. Maybe some of these photos will remind Perth people of what is best in their state.

From grey to red, the winter has its secrets.

This grass tree had its stalk removed, and its diverging leaves stimulated my eye.

The rich reds of the tingle trees bark seemed to glow in the soft winter light.

Peaceful Bay is just down to the right in this photo.

There is only one place where the karri trees meet the southern ocean. Behind these flowers is the location.

The orange lichen gives Elephant Rocks its unique character.

Here the evening light was caught high up in the arms of this karri.
