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)

The gift of waters
Swirling balm for the spirit
Heaven at your feet

Beautiful! The mad hot weather we've been having in Brissy lately makes me wish I lived a short walk away from a beach like yours!

I love seeing ocean water coming ashore. I live a long way from the ocean so I don't get to see it very often. Thanks for the beautiful peaceful photo.

I love the feeling of my feet in those sand when the waves come in :)
A simple joy in life!

This picture has a real textural feel to it - I can remember the times I have walked along the shore in shallows warmed by sunlight - and the sand sinking beneath my feet and between my toes.

This is a great image, it has both calm and violent feel to it...

Swirling balm for the spirit is so true of the sea. So many words, songs and painted visions of her beauty and mysteries, how can you not fall in love with the gift of the sea.
Wonderful!

The water is a wonderful gift. I always find it to be a source of stability, balance, peace, and wonder.

Lovely indeed!
The sinking sand and rolling water washing away the footprints I left behind.
