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
That's a really inviting kiosk and, once again, it's that beautiful tree that catches my eye too :D)
ReplyDeleteMartin Place isn't so bad for a concrete jungle. The heritage buildings trees and movable plant displays soften the concrete.
ReplyDeleteTo me it is concrete jungle. I just can't figure out why it is so sterile despite all they try to do to it.
DeleteMartin Place has been junked up too much for my liking. But I guess they are trying to slow down the canyon effect.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what is better junked up or empty. I don't like Martin Place. I don't think it works.
DeleteAnother really interesting shot with lots to take in. I love how you framed the person in the background.
