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)

Is it called a motorbike?


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Resting in a Dromana street, Mornington Peninsula was this somewhat eyecatching bike (perhaps new) and it created an intriguing shadow!

Dusky shine of gold
Laid right back and in waiting
Dramatic street scene

I've never seen a bike quite like this one! Very original.

Gemma -- yes an intriguing shadow, but also that bike looks quite elegant and comfortable actually (and I am most emphatically NOT a motorcycle person). I really wonder what the bike's person(s) looked like !

Ralph said...

The chrome frame is impressive and shiny. To tone down the sun a bit, we can instead follow the shadow along the ground. An impressive cycle, someone made fashioning this into an artistic statement...

Cassie said...

That is surely a unique Shadow Shot ~ The bike is quite special!

It makes my back hurt just looking at it...though back in the day...well, we won't go there...ha!

How are you doing old friend, I hope Autumn is treating you well. Are you as busy as I am, no time to really seek out old friends on the blogs. Spring is at hand and we're taking advantage of the warmer weather and the crowds that will soon be out and about. We have a lot to do during our brief 6 months of summer, grabbing all the income we can before winter sets in again...ouch that hurt, let's not mention the 'W' word again...OK!

It's still pretty cool here, but we know the heat is coming, along with the humidity and the mosquitoes...ahhh...summer, I shan't complain about a thing!

I can't wait for the flood waters to recede so I can be out collecting driftwood, I plan to make some funky garden furniture...in my spare time...ha!

...and I'm going to take one day at a time and breathe it all in like there's no tomorrow, after all, who knows what lies ahead(besides winter)...summer's a gift, a gift of renewal and I'm going to renew every inch of it...out in my garden where the strawberries are starting to green. It's a pretty drab scenario right now, but bits of green are shining through...AT LAST!!!

Have a wonderful week dear friend and know that you are in my thoughts always!

...and big warm American hugs as always my friend!!!

It is unusual, it looks like it is being towed.

what an impressive motorbike, the shadow is equally impressive!

Awesome bike! It casts a very cool shadow, too.

Patti said...

Interesting bike. I've never seen one quite like it.

And it leaves a wonderful shadow.

Happy shadow seeking this week!

A most unusual bike - but it sure makes a great shadow!
