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)

Now you're talkin' my language...have never been to an antique shop out of my country, it has to be a different world indeed.

You need to walk inside and take shots for us poor slobs on the other side of the universe, that long to visit your world! We're curious about what antiques are about down under...aye!

happy shopping friend...

Really great shot, it makes you want to go right in. I've been using a lot of my antique shots lately, they're so interesting.

The sepia allows this Antiques shop look less modern and more like an original building of 100 years ago (when new items being sold then instead of old items now)

Open for business! That really looks like a nice place to browse. Looks good in sepia too.
