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)

Narrow balcony

Tollways challenge leaves

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ I found it strange that with all this Enchanted Maze Garden beauty before them, people on the cafe balcony turned their backs and chatted about other things?

Carved Wood Fantasy in Monochrome


Collage of one of my treasured, unusual pieces of artwork.
Woods include maple, white pine and cedar.
It was bought some years ago at Goldies Crafts in Kiama, New South Wales
The wires behind are from my stereo.
This was the only place where the piece would stand with support from the bar below the table.
But the wires seemed to add extra interest to the monochrome.

Tiny wild creature
Peeks timidly from carved woods
Like a wise small owl

Is it just a curiosity?

Odd Shot Monday prompt

An equilateral triangle of
Wood boards and
Bark chips
Displays
Three
Tall
Carved posts
Strategically placed at
Cardinal points
~
The posts look like
Old piers from
Some old jetty
Perhaps graced with
Old watermarks
~
Each post is
Chiselled out in
Random chunks and
Crossed
Bolted with
Fragments of
Other old woods
~
A fascinating
Sculpture
Artwork
Of sorts
~
But in truth
WHAT IS THAT?
