View from St.John's tower, Perth
We were standing on the top of the bell tower of St.John's Kirk in Perth, Scotland when I took this photo of the other church. I can't remember which church this one is, though.

Perth City - City of Light
Perth, Western Australia, is also sometimes known as the "City of Light".
Perth would appear to be, to the traveler, a place of romance: the 'City of Light' acclaimed by the astronaut John Glenn who, orbiting the earth overhead in his Mercury capsule in 1963, claimed to have seen 'the tiny glow on the south-west tip of the great black southern continent,' as its inhabitants left their lights on through the night in honor of Glenn and the United States space program. 'I can see lights on the ground,'Glenn reported. 'I can see the lights of Perth on the coast. Thanks everyone for turning on the lights.'
