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)

Peeping Toms!


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ This home overlooks Rosebud beach, Mornington Peninsula.
It is quite beautiful, quite elegant but...
The tall windows seem to peer out from the decorative wrought iron balustrade upstairs and the tall wrought iron fence downstairs.
The view must be like segmented pictures!

Window Views...and Doors Too

Like cached window views
Like peeping through prison bars
Like wistful dreaming

I love windows. Give me a room with lots of windows! I just don't want to clean them. :-)

From inside the house, the view may be obstructed, but at the railing of the second floor balcony, the view must be superb!
