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

ReplyDeleteI have a view of the sea from my flat. I've lived here for six months, and I still am mesmerized by it. I wonder if it will wear off, ever.
ReplyDeleteI not only like the sea line of the seaweed in this image, but how the sea lines repeat themselves with the ripples in the water and the crashing wave.
ReplyDeletewhat a gorgeous photo of sea lines.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't look like seaweed.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like autumn leaves.
