reminiscing...layers of reality...

Today's reminiscing...a little different...
At times, I like to experiment with my photos...creating layers of reality...
This one = my favourite place in Dromana - by the sea with a view of Arthurs Seat + a humble garden wall by my carport + an April flower...

There is quite a number of these signs scattered around my neighbourhood...
They have been there for some time...

The Peninsula Preservation Group has devoted a website to this protest.
