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)

I can taste the salt in the spray and smell the ozone - wonderful shadows, Gemma :-)

What a terrific shadow shot, Gemma, and I love the blue water! Can feel the breeze and the sunshine! Hope your weekend is going well!

The lines are great, the straight lines with that lovely kink. It seems like a 3-D of the skeleton inside the watercraft. Even the stairs have an angular artistry. A capture that many regular riders surely miss!

I can feel the water splashes in my face, I always like to sit at the end part of the boat whenever I'm aboard, the stairs line is so straight, nice collages of shadows pics.

Renee said...

Nice shadows!

Patti said...

Wonderful shadow capture of the steps on the deck.

And the water looks so refreshing.

Hope you have a great Sunday. Thanks for the visit. ;-)

A ferry ride AND a great Shadow Shot. Who could ask for more! I've loved ferry boats since my first ride on the Staten Island Ferry as a child. Happy SSS Gemma.

Some very nice shadows on that deck and what a lovely view!

Cool to see that collage here! I really liked the way that one turned out. All the photos just worked so well together. It's one of my faves!

Thanks a bunch for visiting my other blog and for your kind words :)

Have a great week ahead Gemma!

A cool shadow shot and fresh colours with that blue and white. Water is always gives a special feeling to the photo. :)

What a great shadow. It reminded me of my days using the ferry to cross over L.I.Sound..Very touching to me..
Happy SSS.

A wonderful shadow shot! And the plus is the feeling of the sea.

What a great shadow! Love the water as well!

This is one of those scenes that one wishes (from afar) that one is a participant of the moment! So very inviting! Nice capture!

Clytie said...

I love the angles, angles and more angles in this beautiful shadowy shot! Your mosaic is superb as well!
