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 love this one!! It definitely is an image of tranquility - and I really like how you captured that seagull off in the distance. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI love the seagulls dancing in your banner photo - they look so happy.
ReplyDeleteTranquility is the right word. Just awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt makes the senses come alive, I reckon. Early morning anywhere really. Before man adds 'busyness' to the environment.
ReplyDeleteGreat colours and great shapes in the clouds and the foreground
