Geraldton
I recently got back from a long weekend trip up to Geraldton in WA to see family last weekend . While I was up there took the opportunity to take some photos up there . From what I heard the weather in Perth was shocking that weekend for photography , 500km away from Perth it was fairly nice and made for some great light for photos .
Stayed with my Grand parents at there place on the new Geraldton Marina , It had been a while since I was last up there and the whole front of Geraldton is in the process of some much need redevelopment .
Got a few shots while I was up their the shot below is of Geraldtons new Marinia and Museam .
While I was down there I also took the opportunity to take some photographs of the HMAS Sydney War Memorial . For those of you that don’t know about it HMAS Sydney was lost with all hands battle , off the Geraldton coast in November 1945 .
The centre of the memorial is a dome, 12 metres across, raised on pillars 3 metres tall. It is seafaring tradition that the souls of lost sailors are embodied in seagulls. The dome consists of 645 stylized stainless steel seagulls, representing the 645 souls lost .
A wall of remembrance names of those lost loosely envelops the dome. Close by is a soaring stele of the bow of HMAS Sydney.
Most evocative of all is the bronze woman in 1940s dress, gazing to the distant horizon .
Really like the 3rd one Kirk … Would like to make a trip up there with you one day, maybe go a little further to the gorge

this dome makes for a really interesting subject! i like it a lot and i think you’ve captured the colours of the sky really well here.
