~ One Hot Summer's Day ~

~ Memories of Miranda ~ Picnic at Hanging Rock

......The day is hot & dry. There is the sound of birds & crickets, and a breeze rustling through the dry grass…..and higher up, the breeze whistles through the rocks…..

And words are gently whispered on the wind:

.....’We shall only be gone a little while’......

.....’What we are & what we seem are but a dream…..
A dream within a dream’.....

.....’Everything begins & ends at exactly the right time & place’......

One Hot Summer’s Day ~

Listen to this

Well done to Shaz & Pete who guessed the movie & novel I was inspired by with this image.

The novel ‘Picnic at Hanging Rock’ was written by Joan Lindsay, and the movie is Peter Weir’s classic film adaptation of the novel.

The quotes I’ve taken from the movie & the ‘Dream’ quote, which was used in the movie is a quote from Edgar Allen Poe.

    Hey Lee – I thought you must be dreaming until I read your description. A little cool and wet on my drive into the hills yesterday and without Google I’m lost when it comes to the book or movie. :)

    I like the comp and treatment of your image too. :)

    LOL thanks Andy, and yes you are right, its very wet & cold in the hills at the moment. I took this pic in summer though – trying to think of warm things – and this image just reminded me of a certain book or movie…I’ll give you a little hint, it’s Australian & well known : )
