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)

Detail of a Stage in Waiting


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Buy my art
Folds of a curtain create interesting shadow distortions!
The window ledge suggests a stage, waiting for the curtain to open on a performance!
Maybe a New Year performance!

Subdued shaded stage
New Year waiting to happen

What a fantastic capture! It does indeed look like a stage waiting for the curtain to rise! And lovely words as always, Gemma! Hope you had a lovely Christmas and wishing you a very Happy New Year! Enjoy!

These window treatments are lovely, the lighting evokes a curtain under the spotlight. The audience waits for the band to begin the interlude and the performance to begin. A nice look, and a Happy New Year to you!

The stage is definitely set, wouldn't it be wonderful if it was set for PEACE...we'll keep that thought in our hearts all the way into the New Year.

I hope you have a wonderful year ahead dear friend. Each year full of lessons learned, we grow into our soul beings, longing for peace and love all around the world...as we grow to care for each other in this complex world.

Breathe in a big ol' gulp a salty sea air for me friend, they are the healing salts of the soul...along with that beautiful Australian sunshine.

Thanks for the view lil' sister...blessings...
