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)

Thank you for your recent stopping by and many comments in my Jouvenceaux-blog. I really appreciated that and seeing your bird-shots I believe to listen the sounds of small white parrots and kukkabarras. Great your country! I love it.

Love cloud shots...as I age, the color black suits my pallor, as yellow hair turns to silver, the light shimmers off the darkness.

The unsightly utility pole does not detract from the silver and gray sunset...

Hi Lady Gemma! It's been awhile, but I'm back. I through the process of listening to myself without necessarily writing them, in that way my thoughts just flow and I've heard enough.

Now about your poem, this is a strong descriptive piece achieving rich imagery in too minimal words painting the picture in the mind in brevity and still allowing thoughts in the mind to surface depending on which angle one wants to see what is told. The picture where the inspiration was drawn made the thoughts solid, but then again it, too, has so much drama that tell stories in it self when viewed.

I love such pictures. I also have a collection of silhouette photographs against the colorful backdrop of dawn and dusk and the rich emotions they conjure when viewed are endless.

I wish you well.
