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)

Great posting for ABC Wednesday. Awesome shots of glass window with neat objects or animals behind (especially the cat). Like the recycled glass vase. Enjoyed looking around your blog.

Since (among other things) glass can be considered a VERY high-viscous liquid, it has has some properties that people never consider.

To me the most important aspect of glass, is that the best lenses are made from it. What many don't know, is that most camera lenses today is made out of plastic...

Glass is the perfect material to use for photos and you did it very beautifully!

the weather looks very refreshing in these photos - maybe the sun isnt shining, but at least it looks cool and brisk enough to enliven you. i love this kind of weatehr - we don't have enough of it in crete, unfortunately. getting too much sun simply makes you lethargic. you need air conditioning to cool off your brain...

Hey Harriet said...

Nifty! A very clever idea! I love the doggy in the window. And the cat. They're both gorgeous :)
