That's my workplace through the trees. My office has a beautiful view of Kings Park - I never get sick of it! I see joggers running through the park all day!
Kings Park avenue of trees. One tree is planted for every soldier killed in World War I and II (Except I think this bit is for "committee members" who planned Kings Park.) The avenue is kms long.
Ahhhhh. Beautiful Perth on another beautiful day.
OK - my ride. The scenery changes a lot over the 5kms I am in Kings Park. Yet it's all beautiful.
I think you can imagine just how dark it is at night - and scarey!! The only light is my bike headlight. I can barely see anything. I have to concentrate just to stay on the path.
When I hit the UWA campus, I'm almost home!!

I love the photos Celeste. Thanks for sharing them with us. What a terrific place to ride. I envy your fabulous view from work too.
It certainly does look like it would be scary at night. I'm sure you're glad to get to the campus when you're travelling at that time.
AAaaah, that's my home too!! So proud of it! Thanks for sharing your route with us.
Where are you, you didn't do one of those arm-stretched-out-in-front-of-you pics with the camera facing your way?
So, do you have a pepper spray yet? I know you know how to use one!
(I e-mailed you, hope you got it)
Oh how lovley... Perth is such a beautiful city!
Beautiful photos Celeste. Great to see where you ride.
Nice to see where you run, I love the snap of the sky scrapers.
It looks beautiful celeste - I really want to go to Perth one day - looks like a wonderful city. Your route looks like it would be a little spooky and scary in the dark - I hope you look after yourself and make sure you're safe! :)
Great photos Celeste, looks like somewhere I'd love to run - but I don't think I'd be game enough to cycle there in the dark!
No doubt, Perth is a beautiful city. And you have a wonderful surrounds for your work. I don't think I'd like to be doing that bike path in the dark - you're game!
Great pics! found you through Hann. Best of luck in getting those 2007 km run. What a great idea :)
Cheers

Yes, Perth is a great city. Great photos celeste. I have walked some of those paths before.
Although I've never lived in Perth I have been there heaps when I lived in Fremantle during the America's Cup.
Fremantle is probably good for running too, but when I was there I made more use of the pubs and restaurants.
OhhhhhOOOhhhhh.... beautiful pics, make me feel homesick again, Celeste! What a great place for a job, too!
The skyline.... so very, very much beautiful!
The thought of the soldiers who died makes me get goosebumps everytime. Especially when I see those isolated trees with the signs.
Just make sure you know where the wind comes from when using pepper spray - this is what I´m most afraid of - knocking myself over.
Beautiful pics, really! :-)
Awww, that's beautiful. I have never been to Perth but now I really want to.
How lucky are you!
Boo Hoo, I get so home sick still to this day!!
I know that building where you work, I think it has been there a thousand years, lol! I love Kings Park :)
I have never looked back from leaving Sydney for good old Perth. I'm fortunate too to live quite close to the river... loved the pics!
Excellent photos!
I wonder if you have been up Jacobs ladder from mounts bay rd to Kings Park? I walked up there the other week...lots of runners there always...
My wife ran about 35min for her first 5k race, after I encouraged her training for a few months...
I like the exercise ticker and good to see the PB and km's done tables...great blog!
:( Makes me miss Perth even more. Next year you and me baby running that path. Pinkie swear!!
