Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ This photo was taken at the Melbourne Museum.
The building is a replica of the early lifestyle of colonial settlers.
I loved the eerie lighting in this area of the museum creating an unusual glow on the woods.
Just as I focused to take the photo, these people wandered out of the door!
Immediately I thought that the man in the cap almost seemed to be stepping out from yesterday ~ literally!
Quite strange!

SOOC Sunday #67
Carry on Tuesday #40 ~ This week our prompt is a quote from the 19th Century poet and politician Percy Bysshe Shelley:
Fear not for the future
Weep not for the past
~
View of other worlds
Strange connection with past lives
Breath of old spirits
~
Weep not for the past
Fear not figments of futures
Shine as links in chains

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)

It is a fascinating shot. You really did capture an eerie mood here.
Looks just like an old linotype photo. Great. Valerie
Your picture has such atmosphere and the Carry On poem is just perfect. Thanks for your continued support.
This really does look otherworldly. That guy in the doorway does look like he's just stepped out of history. Great capture!
I agree with you the man does look as if he belongs there.
Hi!
Great shot! That's really eerie, that man looks like he's come from the past. Have a great day!

Daunting:). A continuum well expressed.
I like what you did with the COT prompt, particularly in the second haiku. The idea expressed in its last line was fresh, invigorating.
The photograph is wonderful. I love the way you captured the young girl and woman in shadow, while the elderly man is bathed in light. Great post!
