AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Reflected Realities

3WW prompt #XCI ~ frequent + open + someday

There comes a someday
When substance and reflections
Are obscure realities
Co-existing
~
A large glass door
Offers frequent passers by
The open opportunity
To use a camera eye
And see
The ordinary
Textured
Filmed into
The wondrous art of
The curious
The extraordinary

NOTES: These images are actually a view of the inside foyer area of the school art room. Reflected are parts of other school buildings, some bark texture from the garden outside, a stream of late afternoon sunlight and clouds in the sky.

You did a wonderful job of blending both the photos and the writing together.

Enjoy the winter break :)

The reflections are beautiful. I just had the thought that maybe I should take time to reflect more.
