With the church spire poking through it looks so Old World. I'm going to take you to the Farmer's Market at the church a bit later in the sequence.
The tiny camera's tiny battery ran out so I went back to my reading. The note with the sculpture says "This bronze and copper sculpture contrasts a series of small human forms with the architectural weight of on oversize staircase. The artwork has a philosophical aspect by reflecting on the effect of reading on the spirit - 'the more I read the smaller I feel'." Crikey, I dunno about you but if reading made me feel like that I'd stop.
Oh yes, changes the scene quite markedly. Howewver, it is still unmistakably Australian.
ReplyDeleteThe landscape and the colours look a lot like England to me.
ReplyDeleteYour lovely photo invites a leisurely stroll over the paddock, through the trees and out on to the church grounds :D
ReplyDeleteThe distant spire looks great there. Great composition.
ReplyDeleteExactly what I thought: could be in Germany as well. I wonder what Julie sees as unmistakably Australian, ;-). Please tell me, yes?
ReplyDeleteMartina, the iron-bark tree in the foreground, the mix of trees along the creek in the mid-ground and the blue of the eucalyptus rising from the hills beyond.
ReplyDeleteI think this all to be not 'lime' enough for Europe.
Great composition. It is great to see some old towns are still in good shape after seeing the ruins in SA.
ReplyDeleteJulie, thank you very much. Of course I didn't recognise the iron bark tree - definitely some tree you won't find in Germany in the middle of the landscape ;-). While mixed forest and "blueish" mountains - this (i.e. the photo) could very well be one of the low mountain ranges in Central Europe.
ReplyDeleteTerrific scene.
