Burswood Park is a large park close to the Perth CBD adjacent to the magnificent Swan River. Citizen of the Year Lake is the tranquil centrepiece of the Park and is named in honour of Western Australia's prestigious Citizen of the Year awards, with names of recipients displayed on plaques fixed to the cobbled limestone edge of the adjoining dais.
The Swan Fountain is a salute to the Swan River and a major landmark of the city of Perth. The stunning sculpture of Western Australian black swans majestically rising from their nest, captures the spirit and life of the State's treasured Swan River.
The Swan Shell is designed to reflect the movement of a swan in flight, and its graceful structure soars above the surrounding parklands. It is a landmark for visitors and a popular venue for weddings, concerts and outdoor events, freely available for public use.
This post is part of the Water World Wednesday meme,
A blog where I post a mixture of photos that I have taken and find amusing, interesting, artistic, surprising or strange.
This looks like a very "zen" place ...

ReplyDeleteIt is a very tranquil and well-maintained place, even lovely to have a stroll or have picnic and a book. I envy my former roommate for taking her PhD in Perth.
