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)

Wan and Weathered


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Strange and weathered looking water craft moored in one of the boat launching channels at Frankston, Mornington Peninsula.
Is it some kind of dredge?

Weathered reflections
Like some monster from the deep
Jagged and jaded

That loos really special (and not very safe I must add). Creative choice!

What a strange, but terrific reflection! It is interesting what we come across once we start looking for shadows and reflections and we tend to see them in a whole different light! This makes me think of a modern day, aging, broken down dragon! Always enjoy your photos! Have a wonderful weekend, Gemma!

Looks like it has a secret life - even if it is a bit wobbly.

Great reflection. That is a very strange looking dredge if that's what it is. Very interesting though.

Looks like a small dredger. Nice catch.
