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
Good observation. The ridges really do look like veins.
ReplyDeleteYes it does. Nature is just amazing.
DeleteYeh a case of natures art. But when I looked at the image it reminded me of the back of aging hands which I also find lovely.
DeleteNature is so amazing! Great find.
ReplyDeleteI love being surprised by nature. It is so much fun seeing things in the ordinary not just the grand vistas.
DeleteHehe, that's a good way to describe it.
ReplyDeleteIt's the poet in me peeping thru! Wish it happened more oft.
DeleteIs it that new fangled method of lanndcare that funnels moisture and soil around paddocks? The one advocated by Peter Andrews?
ReplyDeleteNo the ridges are rocks not soil. There was quite a big section of them.
DeleteWhoa - that looks weird. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before.
ReplyDeleteLooking at it now it looks as if a farmer ploughed around a tree but I am sure the rocks predated the tree by millions of years. Yeh weird.
DeleteGood analogy. It looks like the back of my hands.
ReplyDeleteHe he. Mine too
