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)

An Award!

I am simply so excited! The delightful Elaine (Ling to her friends) from Singapore of Napaboaniya APAD (A Photo A Day) and It's Not a Weekend; It's a Lifestyle has given me this award.

Her photo blog is pure magic. If you want unusual perspectives of the ordinary, great colours, great black and whites and creative composition, her pics are a must see. Best of all, the pics are LARGE! I am a regular viewer of her imaginative work! This blog is all about visuals! Stunning visuals! She claims not to be a professional photographer, but she should be!

And her personal blog is a blend of more great pics for memes and some fun comments.
