at times, peeling tree trunks can be scenic frames for scenic countryside...
This is a view of farmland at Red Hill...

just a number...

not many beach boxes at Dromana beach have their number displayed so prominently...
Many opt for naming their little pieces of joy on the beach...
Somehow, this one looks so sad without a name...
After all, there is a space beneath the number for one here...

I'm a display?....

interesting dining decor in a small restaurant at Mornington...
Not sure I would be comfortable here,
because this part of the dining area is surrounded by windows
which face onto a large shopping precinct and carpark...
I would feel 'on show'...
