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
Yeah, the one in Bermuda is a pretty good study of light, I would think.
ReplyDeleteI like the lines on the bottom of this runabout though.
Nice use of depth of field. The place looks idyllic.
ReplyDeleteI like this photo very much, as AB sad, DOF is nice. It feels a little bit melancholic to me, like, summer is over, no more boating on the sea. But that is clearly created by the temperatures around here ... .
ReplyDeleteThanks guys, it might not have been what I thought I might capture but as you say it didn't work out too bad.
ReplyDeleteMartina, it was taken several weeks ago during winter so perhaps it was pulled up on the shore waiting for the summer sun.
