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)

In passing...



In passing I saw
Just humble carport shadows
Weave simple magic

Ralph said...

The Oz sun is strong, the shadows long. The chair in shadow looks so oversized that our shadows need to be long enough too so we can relax on the hot day. Nice!

Patti said...

It's fun finding shadows in passing..without even trying. That happened to me the other day.

Have a good week, Gemma!

There's something very magical about shadows that loom far larger than their objects, isn't there?

Hope you had a great Australian Day. Did you get a free breakfast? Yummm... I prefer the BBQ, OZ way.

Great wrecker chair showing it's best.

Happy SSS2,

Even just a plain chair throws off great shadows.

I simply love this, Gemma.

Sometimes the simplest objects create the best shadows. Great capture.

Hootin Anni said...

Simple and elegant a shadow if you ask me.

Margaret Gosden said...

I am sure the original is elegant but the shadow really makes it look extra ELEGANT! Great composition, too.

The simplicity would have been lost had you not had your camera in hand.
