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 all the blues and greys.
ReplyDeleteI love grasses too. These definitely look blue with cold.
ReplyDeleteI would not have ventured out of my warm cabin even for blogging.
Is that a ray of light in the background? Whatever it is it looks fantastic amidst all that blue.
ReplyDeleteSimply glorious. There's usually a good measure of tranquility in your photos, and this one has it too. I love how peaceful it is.
ReplyDeleteLovely lovely lovely ... the light in the background adds a quasi-religion aura to the entire scene.
