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
35C is bordering on the warm side. And judging from the shadow it is close to middAY. What allow a wee blackberry bush to dictate your explorations. Lassie lassie lassie where is your country upbringing!!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are really terrific. I stumbled upon your blog and thought I'd invite you to read mine.

How do I fall behind with your blog? I think my brain is shrinking.
ReplyDeleteYou know I love corrugated anything. I wouldn't go inside there either...
I wouldn't get out of the car to explore in that heat either. great shot of delapidated dwelling.
ReplyDeleteRusty roof, stonewalls, wooden window wings (eeeh ... ), abandoned building - what more could the photographer's hear wish for? ;-)
ReplyDeleteStill 1.5 °C here.
Not a bad guess Julie ... 11:34 to be precise, still morning so more heat to come. Forget the blackberry, I just don't go through fences.
ReplyDeleteDiane, without the humidity you have in Brissie the temperature doesn't feel quite as bad.
Martina ... eeek it's gotta be very chilly winter morning for us to get temperatures so low.
Paula, it probably my fault because of the way I jump between BMJ and SW
Ms Rhonchell ... welcome.
These old crumbling buildings really are a photographer's treasure.
ReplyDeleteits amazing to me how you find these shots to take
ReplyDeletesomething that would normally be so depressing or unnerving to some you make look so beautiful
