Many thanks for your comments, I'm really glad you like the shot. I was really blown away when these two just swam into shot and started canoodling in that ray of light. It was almost as if they were posing!!

Fellow Perthian - yay!
Wow, this is such a great image of our beautiful city. Also reflects how much construction is going on around here lately.
Those swans are perfectly in the beam of light too, fabulous!
Well done!

Hi! Thanks so much for your comments here, I'm so glad you get a kick from the shot. Man, I was so lucky that afternoon, I just couldn't believe it when the swans came paddling by, right at the height of the sunset. You know there was almost something 'higher' about the whole thing - kinda weird and eerie. I still can't quite believe it... heh, I guess I'm easily pleased by the small things!

PS I tried looking around the settings, but I dont think that I can setup prints, it must be because you are subscribed (or at least I assume you are because you have a * instead of a ~ next to your name! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah yeh that's probably the case, I am subscribed, as the * indicates. Actually picked up a print account yesterday after submitting 'Perth' (the swans pic), reckon I might stand a chance there. Great news re prints for non-subscribers, the administration is really forthcoming here innit?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup, though I think I should subscribe myself as a christmas present to myself. Hehe

What is it the boy scouts say? "Be prepared".. or is it 'DYB! DYB! DYB!'..? erm.. *cough*
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Probably not specifically Aussie, but the little cub scouts chant this (means Do Your Best) as part of their pagan chanting rituals to the gods of clean living and outdoorsmanship. It's all about brainwashing and other funky stuff.
You do know to tell me to

Nice.... you could sell this - it's SO Perth! The city, the river, the swans, the quintessential Perth sunset colours. Classic.
