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
Nice composition. I like how there's so much vegetation here. A lot of dune areas are just grass and pig face.
ReplyDeleteHi Joan, looks like you are having a great break at the seaside.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed the Blue Hour shots and poetry. The Poe poem and shot are wonderful.
Hey I love those windows to the sea too. I'm always clicking those. In fact some of my best pictures are of this. This one is a beauty too. It is just inviting you down to the sea.
ReplyDeleteAwwww - don't they look cute?
ReplyDeleteI remember one year we were walking through one of these paths down to the beach at Peregian and there was a snake hanging over the path from a tree!
Letty!! I don't think I will walk one of those paths freely ever again.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the mystery of this shot - but I too immediately thought of snakes! Is that what being an Aussie is all about??!!
ReplyDeleteLove this view and the title is just great!
ReplyDeleteLove Letty's story.
