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)

No One Would Have Believed...


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Sculpture in Melbourne near the Treasury building
~
Carry on Tuesday #71 ~ Our prompt this week is the first words from H. G. Wells 1898 novel, War of the Worlds:
No one would have believed...
~

Seemingly simple
Major historic moment
Symbolic sculpture

Reams of signed paper
No one would have believed true
Turning point in time
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ The simple lines of the wavy sculpture represent the 1891 lengthy petition for women's right to vote in Australia.

Metamorphosis


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A sculpture near Frankston pier, Mornington Peninsula.
(A view from the front has been posted for Shadow Shot Sunday #115 today!)
Strangely, the stand looks remarkably like a cardboard box that has been painted to match the seagull sculpture on top!

Haiku Heights #2 ~ Metamorphosis
(suggested by Amity of Dreams are my Reality.)

Avant garde sculpture
Moulded seagull and critters
Cereal box friends
