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)

Rusty Illusions

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Mirror on pole at Dromana beach, Mornington Peninsula

Odd Shots Monday prompt on Katney's Kaboodle ~ This week, Katney posted a very disturbing shot of many pipes loaded (precariously?) on the back of a truck. Imagine many slotted views through the pipes!

Rusted
A little weather bent
Blurred with salt
But I can still reflect
Moods of the sea and sky
~
And the fragmented
Illusion of
A broken
Pathway

A very neat odd shot, but then I always appreciate reflections.

I like your angle - shooting the reflection in the mirror and including so much of the foreground.
Good Odd Shot.
