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
This is just great! What a fantastic detail you captured.
ReplyDeleteI love this pic with those cobwebs clinging to the pegs - great macro shot!
ReplyDeleteHa - you only have to leave something outside for 10 minutes at the moment, before a spider makes a web on it.
ReplyDeleteActually, that happens inside too.
Magic photo. You can make such a good shot out of nothing. I love the contrast in colour.
ReplyDeleteReal beaut!
