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)

Hey Harriet's Shadow Shot Sunday prompt #23

Fun hopscotch shadows
Never step on the dark lines
Don't lose your good luck

P.S. And now, obviously, I did not step on any lines, for my luck is in! Tracey at Hey Harriet is really a great, bubbly host who has won the hearts of many of us bloggers! She has awarded her shadow shooters with a special image she created! I love it! Yayyyyyyyyy! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Gorgeous Gemma! It's like a cool combo of sepia & b&w! Glad you didn't step on the shadow lines. I was never so good at hopscotch, so I would have bounced on the lines. And probably tripped over while trying to avoid them!

Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm happy you like the award. I was very happy to give it to you :) Hope you have an awesome Sunday!

These types of photos make me long for a nice hike in the woods - sparks the curiosity of what may be at the end of the trail. Nice SSS!
