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)

Closed Eyes


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Attractive front view of a small home tucked away in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula

Sepia Scenes #32
Window Views #6

Bland shuttered windows
Like filtered shadowed eyelids
Closed in or closed out

Gemma what an eye (no pun intended!) you have! It does look like the house has closed its eyes for a nap!

My Sepia Scenes for this week is Lilac Time

Ralph said...

The sepia softens the shadow so, and gives us a relaxed view of this cottage. The lighting makes this home more inviting - and gives us a sense of its personality!

Love the shadows and most especially those old style windows shades.
