silent faceless speaker...

silent faceless #speaker in hat and flag voicing many bristling words just by wearing symbols strategically in reverse on this auspicious day of course an alternative view from the front suggests no such interpretation another ambiguous wonder of Australia Day #vss365

The Wizard...

A special appearance in 2017's Australia Day foreshore celebrations in Dromana was The Wizard. His keyboard musicianship was simply amazing... All music styles were fair game. The awed crowd was mesmerised. The wizard is Andrew Farrell. www.andrewfarrellwizard.com real art is born in the soul

Australia Day marks the point in history...

Australia Day marks the point in history when cultures met and began the rocky trek to mutual understanding sadly Australia Day celebrations still tend to belong to colonial theatre but blind Gurrumul's music lives on haunting and softening the colonial spirit www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8-Y...

Australia Day...

Australia Day
the thrill of blue skies
and hope

for some

the question of clouds
and the beginning of tears

for others

may the tears dry soon#micropoetry pic.twitter.com/oqAOV838Bs

a carefree #galumph in the rain stirs a puddle or two to splash with delight an energised #galumph in the surf means getting thoroughly soaked #vss365 #tanka

smiles of a clown...

I am stepping out, offering some fanciful fun pre our Australia Day, for those who need a little bright colour in their day... the occasional clownish style keeps serious sadness at bay #tanka NOTE: This clown image is from Australia Day on the Dromana foreshore. Can't access alternative script.
