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
What a blast of colour and movement. That top shot is really good. See ... you CAN be patient and bide your time ... *grin* ...
ReplyDeleteWhat fun - the movement and colors in these photographs are fantastic! I especially like the top one :) something about those clouds mixed with all the colors of the ride.
ReplyDeleteGreat imagery. I especially love the clowns. Carnival photography is a passion of mine, and it's not always easy to get the good shots.
ReplyDeleteWow! These are fantastic! What a colourful and eye-catching post!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are so good. For a minute, they made me want to go to a carnival, which is really saying something since I hate carnivals.
