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)

Mystic hush of foliage
Circular echoes

Your haiku always amaze me, they pull me right in to the meat of it every time. Guess us romantics just know what we need to read.

As always, your Australian architecture is curious to me, your Mornington Peninsula appears to have a particular style, always interesting.

Today we sit back and look at all the work we did at my daughters shop for the past two days...and of course wait on all the customers that are going to stream through her doors...the power of positive thinking always works...right!

The sun is shining, it's a beautiful, crisp Autumn day in Iowa...I think I'll enjoy every second allotted to me, how 'bout you dear friend...

Enjoy your Sunday, take lots of pics and breath in the life...cause you're getting a big ol' hug from a friend from afar!!!

Always look forward to your post for the day and for your words! Love these shadow shots! They are so crisp and sharp. And your haiku is truly beautiful! I also enjoy the fact that I "bump" into you on several memes and it's always fun, like meeting an old friend!

Have a great weekend!

Your shots are always beautiful and this one is no exception. I want to hop in the car and drive to the Mornington Peninsula.

The artistic touches surround the viewer, the accent provided by the shadows. The stylish lanterns extend to the facade. The circle inside carries from the outside - enhancing the 3-D effect from the inside of the cube. Finally, the geometric forms abound, with linear squares and rectangles, the triangle and the arc of both circles. A fine subject, stunning architecture and a wonderful shadow shot!

Your words capture the scene perfectly. I'm amazed how smooth the colours and crisp the shadows are in this photo.

Hey Harriet said...

This is lovely! you've captured so many nice shadows in this one.

Re Hot Fudge's comment - I hope she picks me up on the way!

A very happy belated birthday to you Gemma. And to your daughter! That is so cool that your daughter shares a birthday with World Toy Camera Day :) xo
