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)

An interpretation of book art


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Sculpture of books near my lounge room window.
They are not real.
Just a fanciful piece of art which suits my spirit always seeking that "something different".

A very interesting sculpture and just perfect for sepia scenes.

When I looked at it I thought what if they topple and that little dish falls. :)
Very unique piece of art and well enhanced with the sepia tones.

My post is on my photoblog: Carletta’s Captures.

What an interesting piece ~ they look ready for reading! The light from under the drapes showing through the glass table looks like a lightening bolt going through the books. It took a second look to realize where it was really coming from!

Beautiful shot. It looks perfect in sepia. I have some old family bibles and I've been meaning to do something with them. You've inspired me.

Clever idea for "book art." I like your whimsical spirit.
