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)

A touch of yellow...


Amazing how a touch of yellow on a grey day can be so startling!
This is a view of grey and chilly Dromana beach with a glimpse of one of the many boat sheds.


a touch of yellow
like a kiss of warm sunlight
breaking all the greys

Shadows in Blue


Shadows on a boat shed by Dromana beach


Deep shadows in blue
Like abstract stencilled doodles
Like layered art work

Shadow Grid


Shadows from a mini deck outside a Dromana boat shed


Shadows in gridlock
Like controlled lines of sunlight
Like Nature's game board

I'm not into subtle...


Rarely are boat sheds an orange colour.
But this boat shed at Dromana beach likes to be different.


I'm proudly orange
I'm not into subtle words
I'm a bold statement

I see whispers...


Summer shadows on a boat shed wall at Dromana beach


A wild fragile plant
Like soft visual whispers
Like furled fairy wings

Pirates Pub


Poor light on this lightly rainy day, but the sign still managed to be quite clear when zoomed.
This is actually a tiny sign near the roofline of a Dromana boatshed.

A private world pub
Fun to have a fantasy
Queen of the pirates



This is the whole boatshed.
The sign is very small - at the peak of the roofline
