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)

Tiny turret room
Precious nugget of escape
Like secret earth wings

A good contrasty shot. It almost seems to be by moonlight.

It does have an ehtereal feel like so many of your images. Thinkthis is why am drawn to them. Those branch reflections are perculiar.

I love this one, both the picture and the poem. :)

That looks like a place where a little girl could make dreams come true.

I played too.
Odd shot and Monochrome are here, Todays Flowers and Portrait of Words are here

The combination of the two really works. Moreso in B&W which highlights the possibility of escape even more.

A dormer window always has much appeal I think. I have one that I look out whenever I am at my computer. Earth wing's is an appealing concept!

Great black and white post.

Love those lil' hide-away nooks...great for thinkin' and listening to the rain drumming on a metal roof. A secret hiding in black and white shadow.

I love the reflections on the roof and the whole photo makes me wish I had a window like that.
