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)

Walk a winter beach
Feel the crisp spirit of dawn
Know warming blessings

Gemma,

I always love going out to open spaces:

The beach, the sea, the mountains, the fields, any place where I could see the skies. It is humbling. I like that feeling of becoming small in the enormousness of the open space and my worries and problems and hung ups in life constrict to just a speck, a grain and I am emancipated.

Back in the Philippines I used to do regular morning walks in the seashore and that's one of the best time of mylife.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for gracing us with this wonderful photographs.

I wish you well.
