On my first and only full day to explore the city i found it was really two cities in one. The outskirts and Tay side of the city was nice, keeping much of it's character and had a certain beat like most cities do. However once i headed into the city itself, everything seemed to change. The place felt dead and dull, and i'm not simply talking about the empty shops and boarded up houses. The whole area seemed...gone like a ghost town, even the people seemed dull and withdrawn and given it's a large city the center was unnervingly quiet with few people about. In short i didn't like it and kept to the outskirts on morning and evening walks.
Anyway i did take a few shots of the more interesting building such as Churches and the old graveyards, i always seem to find more time for the dead than the living!
It was in the older graveyard that i saw one of the most beautiful and interesting graves. It was dedicated to Rev. Samuel George Kennedy a local minister of the west church.
As i said the Tay side of the city was very much a intriguing place to wander about and with it's old buildings was the highlight of the city for me.
Across the Tay was a beautiful heather garden that was all in bloom. Well maintained and a great area to chill out and enjoy the weather - and occasional bite to eat!
Cool huh?
Well that is pretty much all i did at Perth but most mornings and evenings i took a stroll around the nearby park and watched the Swan family that lived there. One morning i decided to take a few shots.
