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)

This is amazing. I was at the planetarium with two of my children today. They have a giant rotating earth hanging from the cieling with the current weather patterns, clouds, storms, etc. projected onto it. So you can see the earths weather in real time. I said to the kidlets, "Lets find Australia and see what kind of weather my blogging friends are having today." and sure enough what you showed in your pictures is what I saw from space. So cool! It is amazing that we all live under the same sky! Love the pics!

The first shots had some interesting streaks in the clouds. I invite you to come see my sky views from the BC Ferry to Powell River. -- Margy

All beautiful but love the way you utilized the branches to frame your shot in that first one in particular.
