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)

Stormy Winter Sunset

Winter sunset lights
Like gentle jewels
Sparkling from feathered pillows
~
But incoming storm clouds
Spice the landscape with
Biting contrast

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ At first, winter sunset lights seem to be winning

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Storm cloud rolling in at Dromana

Storm clouds
Like Gothic castles
Breathing dark dramas
Exciting, lively dramas
Charging deepest fears

Beautiful photos you have there, hard to think winter when we are in the heart of summer here.
My first week participating in MM, hope you'll pop into The Cafe.
