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
The jury's still out on the coal seam gas thing - but it's hard to believe a power station could look so fantastically magical!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Brilliant night shot, Joan! Great job.
ReplyDeleteI agree with JM. It looks like something out of a sci fi movie.
ReplyDeleteThis is a stunning capture ... a bit out-of-this-worldy but quite a magical sight.
ReplyDeletewonderful image!
ReplyDeleteCoal seam gas isn't a bad thing - if it's extracted without any implications to the environment. The problem is getting the latter right.
