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)

Soft Morning Skies


Morning skies over my school car park at Cranbourne


Scattering of clouds
Some dither, some wash and some fade
Like mixed emotions

Art of Morning Shadows


Art of early morning shadows on a school building wall.

Collage of tiered canvases
Like wand'ring minstrels

Shadow Shot Sunday #142

Regimented lines
Stairway to schools of thinking
My public think tank

NOTE: "regimented" and "schools of thinking" are shaded with a hint of irony.
My private think tank is not quite so formal.

Shadowy Silent Spaces


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Early morning, on the last two days of school, when just teachers (and no students) walked the floors, I took a series of shots to capture the hollow silence round rooms and doors.

Empty silent rooms
Shadows peek through silent doors
