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)

Like a pool of sunlight...


Three night lights highlight this patterned balcony feature on the Dromana Hotel.
The lights usually switch on as evening begins.


Pale yellow hotel
Like a small pool of sunlight
Glows on bubble art

Light


Boats moored quietly in early morning light at Schnapper Point, Mornington Peninsula

Falls and trails of light
A sign of gentle guidance
Like an outstretched hand

Light and Colour

Theme Thursday ~ Light

So strange

In summer there can be clouds in the sky
But if they are soft and white and fluffy
We say that it is still a bright summer's day

The clouds look warm
Drifting in warm light

And yet
White clouds on a winter's day
Seem so different
Still soft and white and fluffy
But we say it is a dull winter's day

The clouds look cold
Drifting in cold light

Does that mean that air temperature
Lights colour and
Colours colour?

So strange

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A photo taken just this winter's afternoon at Safety Beach, Mornington Peninsula.
Safety Beach is the next beach after Dromana and closer to Mount Martha.

Lights in the darkness
Just humanity's glow worms
Limited sailing

Inventions weaken
Never patronise Nature

A tunnel of light
Swimming in light-headed swirls
Makes light of tensions

Paradox of Shadows


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A plastic-like ridged panel on one part of my verandah holds the light and shadows in rather strange ways.
The glare is reduced, but filmy shapes emerge, especially in early morning and evening light.
Here, there is the shadow of a cane backed chair.
The other shadow is my dear hubby.
But his shadow allows the greens of the garden to take on his shadow shape.

Shadows are fragments
Often fragments of darkness
Sometimes hints of light

Earth lights are night lights

I love night lights ~
Jewelled beacons

The weary
The blind ~
Somehow
There is a silent
Whisper
To seek
Comfort
To relax
In peace ~
To return

Elements of Light

Pic on Flickr by Gemma Wiseman ~ Rosebud pier with light on water
~
Simply Snickers prompt ~ hope + happens
~
There is something about
A ribbon of light on water ~
Inspiring
Softening
Smiling
~
There is something about
A stream of light beneath greying clouds ~
Hope
Warmth
Promise
~
There is something about
A shaft of light
Leading to intersecting pylons ~
Choices
Diversions
Alternatives
~
And if a stream of light
Happens to lead to a misty mountain
Over fluid landscapes
There is
Faith
Courage
Potential
Waiting for
Magical
Miracles
~
