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)

Moody Blue Evening

Moody blues
Singing through black boughs
Sirens of ev'ning
Moods of blue
Sky and water moods

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Damp walkway by an evening sea

Sinuous path
Slipping by
Moody pale moments
Ev'ning sigh
Last breath of day
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Last light
~
Midnight secrets
Locked in waves
Last whispering lights
Namaste
Let there be Peace

moody blue indeed

still wednesday here so I guess you are a bit ahead of yourself - shame we can't really nip forward for a look and back again - time travelling is the realm of the sf writer.

phew - where has the week gone. It is Thursday here not Wednesday - had been looking at the responses to my ABC-Wed post can got myself confused.

Of course it is indeed already Friday where you are. I was just preparing my Skywatch post, thinking I was a day ahead and in fact I now realise the Skywatch Linky goes live in two hour's time so I'm not so early after all.

Better go and get my tea!

Your sky and myself have something in common today. I feel like a gray cloud expecting to rain any minute.

My SWF photos are posted in these blogs:

As always your moody waves trigger my longing to be by the sea again. I am watching a beautiful sunset right now, may load up the dog and the camera and go create a post...

Blue evening is lovely. Peaceful, the clouds playing hide and seek;
Lovely words for a moody sky. It is getting dark and all that is left are the silhuettes. Great photos.

The dark clouds hovering above the sea does look kind of moody. Yet it those looking clouds that I enjoy most when I'm home and snuggling warmly under covers with a good book to read :)

Happy Weekend Gemma :)

Aisha said...

Oh wow! You really have awesome shots of the sky. Such a peaceful shots of the ocean. The cloud formation are so beautiful.

chanpheng said...

Very nice photos - they really do create a mood.

Jeanne said...

Beautiful shots. That walkway looks so serene. Surprised you found it empty even on a wet day, sometimes those are the best for a walk by the water. Love you words to accompany the visual image, very lyrical.

It looks like the sky wants to pour a water...Happy SWF!

Beautiful... I love to see the sky over the sea. I think the middle pic is my favorite... something about the quality of light in that one.
