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)

Mosaic of Echoes


Collage by Gemma Wiseman ~ I so love the skies round my Mornington Peninsula.
But this collection is the result of a little experiment.
Each photo is an overlay of two photos taken from a similar position, so that there is a shadowy, dimensional effect.
Then all three resulting photos are collaged.

Beautiful mornings
Collaged dawn lights and cloud shapes
Magic dimensions

Celebrating the Scarecrow


Collage by Gemma Wiseman ~ October is Scarecrow Festival time on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria.
There are many fascinating interpretations of scarecrows to be found around Red Hill and the mountain of Arthurs Seat.
Some unusual scarecrows are mask-like faces on decorative boards that have been added to colourful posts gracing the side of Arthurs Seat Road at Red Hill.
There is a tall, Queen-like figure and even a giant snail.
There is a blue gowned figure hanging from a tree.

Lone and Maybe Lonely Seagull


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ In recent days, a lone seagull wanders round our home in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.
Constantly he circles, then lands, then feeds, then circles again and lands.
(Repeat this many times!)
Often he tries to sit with the cockatoos, but they don't want his company.
No surprises that we have named the seagull, Jonathan.
He features in this mosaic on our back verandah.

White feathered loner
Leaving his kind of the sea
Hears a new drum beat
