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)

They appear as if they're guarding eternity, don't they?

Shaped eternity - what a lovely line!

Mandy said...

Such beautiful reflections.

SandyCarlson said...

A wonderful reflection on windows! Wow. These really are the effects of our perceptions on our lives.

This was beautiful...each one of us has our own frame around our own reality. I loved the way you described this!

Maggie said...

Windows can create illusions as they serve to either keep out or let in the realities seen in life

spacedlaw said...

Windows that have forgotten to reflect before sending back images in our face.

Bobbie said...

Beautiful, poetic capture of this prompt!

gabrielle said...

the reflections are beautiful and ethereal. what are we see in the side view mirror at 70 mph. Objects may be closer than they appear.

Jim said...

Tinted and bent illusion is a lying and unfaithful mirror image. Neat metaphor.

absolutely adore yr photos and poetry and how you transfer a dimension of reality we wouldn't have seen otherwise in a most etheral sorta way....

I love that!!! A girl after my own heart~ I take pictures like that too- in the rear view mirror of cars and windows of stores- hoping to catch weird reflections. It never ocurred to me to use it for this prompt-lol!
