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)

It's pretty how fallen trees, fungi, an ants hill etc create art in nature. Like your photo =)

Sorry about that! I didn't think the reply button worked and pressed two times more but now it shows up that they did get posted!

Well chosen and well framed.

Oh how I wish I could walk those sandy shores with you, contemplating our fates and the world all 'round and all it's natural beauty.

You just have the best walks, I'd freeze my booty off here today, so me and Scratch are gonna hit the trails in the truck, mmmmm toasty inside.

Hugs my friend!

Wonderful wooden sculpture. Nature creates such marvel. Thanks to share withus your find, Gemma.

Isn't Nature clever? And so are you to have discovered the art and captured it with your camera!

The monochrome treatment gave the lifeless wood look even sadder...

Love driftwood. Find quite a bit of it around our lake and it often times finds itself transported to some other more distinctive place around the gc. Nifty photo, Gemma.

Driftwood is such a wonderful subject especially for Monochromes
