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)

Fabulous reflection, I love the bits of blue sky peeking through!
Nice reflection, it's hard to believe that it is the school year is over on the other side of the world!! :-) We are only half way through.
Very nice indeed. Quite spaces are great places :-)
Weekend Reflection ~ Evening Canals
nice geometry in these reflections
Lots of depth to your photo Gemma. Subtle reflections, the inside, through to the other side and not a soul inside reflecting. Thanks for stopping by for the wearing of the tartan.
Out of sight , out of sound - but not out of reflection. A nice one.
joli photo les formes sont exceptionnelles ;O)
bon w end !
Very nice! :)
Interesting shot. I like the patterns of the squares on the window and the light from within. Hard to believe school is out for the summer for you there.
Adorable reflections! My sister goes to school every day and I stay at home to take care of everything in her room! LOL
Happy weekend reflections, purrs and love
Luna
It looks lonely already!
Wonderful reflections.
Really nice capture. I love the windows within windows, and the blue sky showing through. Nicely done. Kathy
Delightful haiku accompaniment to your wonderful reflections ;-)
Hugs and blessings,
My Weekend Reflections
