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)

3WW Prompt ~ blurred + illegal + match

A chained fenceline symbolises a warning
To beware
Dangerous
Unpredictable
Ground ~
It could be illegal
To ignore signs

But often
Curiosity may match
Even challenge
Caution

Some boil with a sense of
Adventure
Daring
Rebellion ~
Willing the spirit to explore
Any
Blurred
Reality ~
Imagining
Analysing
Confirming
The message of
The colours
