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
I like your idea of bringing some photos together as a patchwork. This really transports the atmosphere of a town, i.e. Sofala.
ReplyDeleteYou could doing tourism public relation with this, ;-)
It seems to be a cozy place.
ReplyDeleteI like wonky and chock-a-block. I like each of the parts of the patchwork. But I especially like the window lines.
