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)

Windows on Nature


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A little rest cabin in the Boneo Maze and Wetlands, Mornington Peninsula.
The door and windows are always open so you can enjoy the scents of the wetland foliage around you.

St Mark's, Dromana by Night Light


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A window in St Mark's church, Dromana, Mornington Peninsula. Construction of the Neo-gothic-style St Mark's Anglican Church was commenced in 1892 and the first service was held in the church in April 1893. The church was constructed using rusticated limestone with red brick quoins and features rendered parapets at the gable end. St Mark's is the Mornington Peninsula's third oldest Anglican stone church and is only pre-dated by St John's in Sorrento (1874) and St Andrew's in Rye (1882). - Extract from Heritage Australia

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!

Night Mural of Window Lights


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Neighbouring house lights by night.
I loved how the lights created a two tiered mini mural of windows and silhouettes.

Domed Views


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Delightful domed building near the Melbourne Museum.
I loved how the tall windows accentuated the shape of the dome and the tiny ones in the dome itself looked like mini viewing spaces!
