AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Safety Beach pier...


Safety Beach pier may be small, but it is still popular with fishermen and those who just wish to watch the sea...


a pier
a means of drawing near
the sea

Pale Yellow Beach Flower


It amazes me what flowers grow right on the edge of the beach where grass meets and mixes with sands.
This one I found at Safety Beach on the Mornington Peninsula.


pale yellow flower
dancing and twirling shapes
by the sea and sands

Wanderlust


Wanderlust to me is all about getting around - walking, sailing, flying -
and feeling an urgency to enjoy different experiences beyond home.
It is not necessarily a set journey, nor does it require travelling long distances.
It could be as random as getting on a jet ski and wandering the waters of Port Phillip Bay
as the above couple are doing.
I have to get out regularly with my camera.
In my wanderings, I photographed this scene from Safety Beach last January.


wanderlust impulse
like an inner driving force
to rove beyond home

Old but still living...


A view of the old Safety Beach pier on Port Phillip Bay - still used by fishermen.


old but still living
a weathered kind of beauty
sweetly lingering

Mystery Shadows


A home at Safety Beach casts bold diagonal shadows.
It is almost like extra art on the facade.
What I don't quite understand is what creates the shadows.
It's only a narrow space between the wall and this wooden panel.
Why would there be cross panels?


stark diagonals
boldly paint their art on light
shadow mystery
