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)

Royal Shadows


Shadow Shot Sunday meme #28 ~ Tracey, our Hey Harriet from Brisbane, Australia hosts this delightful meme.

Shaded lattice spokes
Crowned with shaded diamond whorls
Crossed shades in waiting

WOW...a crown indeed and what beautiful golden sunshine you have to cloak your treasured deck. It's not cold here, maybe 40's but cloudy and dismal, awaiting winter's trick or treat. Don't want snow...oh well...life moves on.

I think I want to come and sit on your deck - it looks so inviting.

I agree with Hot Fudge. Your deck looks very inviting. Lovely shadows, both the railing and the table.

Love this Gemma! We love the shadow of the top on the porch....and with all of the swirls, the shadow looks like it is ready to move!

Hey Harriet said...

Yes I also like the look of your deck. Sipping coffee from there first thing in the morning I think would be rather nice! Lovely lattice shadow Gemma :)

I love the shadows of the table on your deck. If not for the shadows, I would have never noticed the wicker top of the table! Wonderful shadow shot!

Beautiful shot Gemma, I would love to sit there one day :D

Stunning photo, the shadow's so crisp against the little ridges in the deck boards. Looks like a nice place to relax with a glass of wine or two ;)
