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
Yes, as Martina said of the previous photograph, landscape like this is not that usually connected with Australia.
ReplyDeleteI think the relaxing is working, judging from the images you have been able to craft.
Early mornings are good ... repeat after me ...
The light is really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful yet again. However I haven't gotten up so early on a weekend for awhile!
ReplyDeleteThe early morning is lovely but the real reason I see it at the beach is because I am camping. By the time I've woken up enough to trudge over to the amenities I'm awake and have seen how nice it is.
ReplyDeleteAt home there is no risk of this. I look bleary eyed out at the dawn and head back to my warm bed.
I really like these tranquility photos - they make me feel like I'm on a relaxing vacation by a lake.
ReplyDeleteThe still water surface is amazing on both this and the previous shot. Beautiful images!
ReplyDeleteAll three "tranquil" shots are superb
