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)

Open Air Salon


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Peeking through a window of a usual hairdresser's in Dromana, Mornington Peninsula.
A transformation in the late afternoon light!
Outside views are framed in the mirrors, creating a kind of picture gallery.
And the outside directory of shops in this small complex plus a segment of sky are reflected so that the salon seems to be "open air" to a streetscape and Nature.

I have never been to one, But this could be a great change, to see and feel the freshness.

These are fine reflections!

Mirrors and glass can do the most surprising transformations to the things we see - as you have shown here.
