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)

Elements of Light

Pic on Flickr by Gemma Wiseman ~ Rosebud pier with light on water
~
Simply Snickers prompt ~ hope + happens
~
There is something about
A ribbon of light on water ~
Inspiring
Softening
Smiling
~
There is something about
A stream of light beneath greying clouds ~
Hope
Warmth
Promise
~
There is something about
A shaft of light
Leading to intersecting pylons ~
Choices
Diversions
Alternatives
~
And if a stream of light
Happens to lead to a misty mountain
Over fluid landscapes
There is
Faith
Courage
Potential
Waiting for
Magical
Miracles
