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)

Sea and Shadows

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Shadows on shadows at Point Leo, Mornington Peninsula
Hey Harriet prompt~ Shadow Shot Sunday #6
~

Shadows of woods
Shadows of laced wire
Defiant bars
Cropping
Sunlight with
Dark textures
~
But the cross shadow of
A humble wooden seat ~
Offering dreaming space
High above the sea ~
Creates the mathematical possibility that
Shadows are not equal to
Ugliness
~
