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)

Unusual feature at the Enchanted Maze Garden, Arthurs Seat on the Mornington Peninsula

like mini broccoli trees
in quiet still lines

Love the perspective of this shot. I think I am looking at a triangle of little trees. Have never heard of broccoli trees before, but they are really attractive.genie

Looks like a drunken barber attacked the trees :-) I like this very much, the trees have a cool randomness to the branches.

Very cool. In Tofino, land of my dreams, there are bog trails, and lots of trees look like broccoli. I once wrote about a broccoli tree outside my window, along with a few stately others, looking like they were just about to do Tai Chi. Loved this, kiddo.

I love this black and white shot. The do look like they're standing guard.

Margaret Gosden said...

I wonder how they look when they are leafing or flowering - right now they look very regimental!

Unknown said...

That is beauty! I love it.

Have a lovely weekend!

Those trees have been well pollarded for many years. They look so settled, and the shapes are lovely. I like your photo a lot.
