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)

It is a bit of a sepia day here too... but the skies are clearing.
Glad you approve of the Linky page.

So calm and peaceful. I love to sit by any waterfront and watch.
Beautiful in sepia shot.

That's a lovely shot. It looks very much like the fisherman's landing in Mumbles, where I live.

This photo could have been taken any time in the last 100 years. It's timeless. Beautiful work!

Timeless ... perfection!

Love the subtle sepia you've chosen. It gives an outdated atmosphere. As if your picture 'gets older' little by little.
