Is that a Coolibah tree beside the abandoned house? Every Australian knows about Coolibah trees because the bush ballad Waltzing Matilda is nigh on our unoffical national anthem but most of us live nowhere near the inland where they grow. Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, Under the shade of a Coolibah tree, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me. Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.
"To muse, to creep, to halt at will, to gaze ... such sweet wayfaring"
William Wordsworth
Hey, there is a little green, a little red ... I especially love the green vegetables (salat, leek?) in the left corner in the last photo :-).
ReplyDeleteGreat character studies for sure, they're half the fun of going to the Farmer's Market, it brings out such a wide array of people.
ReplyDeleteBit hard to see past the beer gut in the first image. And what about that hair in the final image. Imagine trying to get the knots out ... or wash it ...
ReplyDeleteMartina, looks like leek.
ReplyDeletePaula, with my recently discovered interest in people photography the markets are a dream.
Julie, to make it worse there is a kind of glow over the beer gut. I thought it was a problem with my B&W conversion but I found the colour original had it. As for the hair, I can't begin to imagine.
Amazing white guy dreadlocks!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the last shot.
