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)

Crazy rear window shots

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Seagull with suitable components at Hastings
~
While I adore taking beautiful landscape shots, there is a quirky side in me that loves finding the odd, the weird and the pics with an extra message. Super Plus Race Components - right at the feet of a seagull, proudly viewing the world from a lofty height, amused me. I saw possibilities.

3WW Prompt #92 ~ rumour + shake + spontaneous
~

From high above ~
Ensconced on your precious
Hunk of metal ~
I view your world
With a touch of
Wry
Superior
Humour ~
You may wonder
On our racing prowess ~

You may believe
It is an urban rumour
Prime for an urban legend ~
But I know ~
Toss me a little food
And suddenly
You will see
The heat
The speed of
Seagull frenzy
From nowhere

And this is a throw down challenge. I kept the words in mind, even when I took the shot. Calmly, I strolled past the car once or twice - which must have looked suspicious in the first place - but I was waiting for the sun to stop glaring on the glass. I didn't walk further in case the owner returned to the car and drove it away. I would have missed my shot! So, like it or not, in no time I must have looked like a weirdo on the prowl. Finally, sun toned down, cars stopped passing by and I whipped out my camera! Snap!

Frustration is when
Magazines spell out
Healthy living guides
But money always filters the equation

Spontaneous reaction meltdown

Frustration is when

Impulse glowers
Like Cerberus eyes when
Keys shake within reach
But out of reach

Creative Photography #2 ~ Windows within Windows

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Blind over upstairs window at school (Click to enlarge for best effect!) ~
Creative photography is a new weekly contest ~ This is my first submission!
~

I created a series of these shots to give some visual interest to a photostory presentation involving a fair amount of text. I used them as changing background for the text.
The image represents a light fawny blind covering the window from the outside. On a bright day, images may be seen through the blind and other images from the windows opposite are reflected.

Window Art

Pic from ArtnLight blog , Mumbai, India - These are windows on a building in Goa
~
Fragments of cathedral dreams
Wheeling round a mini rotunda
~
Carefully channelled streams of blue
Piped in bright balance on a white slate
~
A hint of tiled blue and white fantasy
Snaps an illusion of toothpaste order
~

While a rusting
Corrugated
Question
Shields
The eyes
Within
~
Window art
Landscape within a landscape
~
The window
Brushing
The other view
