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)

Friday Revival


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Late last Friday afternoon, this musician was outside the Dromana Hub Shopping Centre, Mornington Peninsula
The sounds of his pulsing soft and bold jazz/folk/avant garde rhythms were electrifying!

SOOC Sunday #106
+
Haiku Heights #18 ~ Stranger
This week the theme is suggested by Gemma of Greyscale Territory
~

Just a thin stranger
Playing his soul through music
Charming diversion

In a late moment
Lost smiling dancing rhythms
Remembered to pulse

Neat photo but what's he sitting on?

I looked at this and suddenly remembered it's nearly summer where you are. Buskers are rare here in Canada this time of year. LOL

I just love the line "Playing his soul through music". That is so awesome. Great theme!

Street entertainers kind of mesmerize me -- I'll stand and listen or watch and sometimes I look up and Bill will be a few blocks ahead of me; I always wonder how long it would take before he noticed I was missing;>)
