The view from my "office"

[Boca68]

Surely someone recognises it?

Give us a clue?

 

[RooFlyer]

It's nickname rhymes with 'Khamal'

What are we guessing again?

Oh that. Maybe the area where Princess Diana sat alone contemplating her gorgeous sexy husband? ........Or maybe not!

 

[RooFlyer]

OK. It's the Bibi ka Maqbara, or the 'poor man's Taj Mahal' in Aurangabad.

It was built by the son of the Taj's builder, for his mother. She apparently requested something, er, comparable to that done for her mother-in-law

That’s what I said.

Somone left the office door open!

A view just now. As an office, it'll have to do.

I missed getting a close shot of this coming into the Swanbourne SAS base to drop a group of troops in a cloud of dust. Only got it on its way out heading S - my guess to HMAS Stirling.

A bit of banging coming from the SAS base but flags not up so they must be doing close stuff.

BTW - another PERfect day in PERadise; forecast max 30 deg .

It may be PERfect over your way but a bit brisk here. We haven't quite hit 8C yet.

I was always of the belief that degrees C stood for degrees Canberra ... where 0 degrees C was that base unit!

 

[JohnM]

Another helo going in and Swanbourne beach from up on a sand dune in the SAS base. Fremantle in the distance.

Eat your heart out LTL!

The base is lower than that. Sometimes -10 on my south facing hillside.

Wave a greeting to mrsC as you pass Vancouver!

 

[JohnM]

Whoa! It’s all happening today.

Herc comes trundling in from the SW, closely followed by a jet (BAE Hawk?). Herc sweeps over SAS base and heads NW. Jet follows but sweeps W by SW towards Rottnest before roaring in again from the SW.

Two almighty bangs and a cloud of black smoke follows.

Then a Blackhawk sweeps in straight over the top of me. Let’s face it, it’s not every day you can lie on a beach with nothing on and be buzzed like this!

 

[JohnM]

Bandits at 12 o’clock!

One last circuit as they pack up for the day and head N - to RAAF Pearce I guess.

Are you at a naturist beach?
No wonder you were happy that it was a warm day!
