sunsets



the sunsets in Western Australia are so amazing. As we're on the west coast we get clear views over the Indian Ocean and if you head down to one of the beautiful beaches we have on offer in perth at sunset time, you'll see lots of people there to watch the show, some with a few beers or a bottle of wine, and if you're in cottesloe, then fish and chips whilst watching the sunset is a bit of an institution. We've only caught a couple of sunsets so far this summer but i'm sure there'll be many more. Sunset is currently about 6.30pm. WA doesn't have daylight saving so no altering the clocks for us. Apparently there was a 3 year trial which started in 2006. in 2009 there was a referendum and the outcome was no to daylight saving! So I think sunset won't go later then 7.30pm at the height of summer. The second photo is R trying to capture the reflection of the sunset in our sunglasses!
