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)

Hello Gemma,
this is a beautiful set of photos, as usual:-)
I love how the sun is trying to peek through the clouds.
You´ve got a wonderfully big sky there.
Happy skywatching.

Greetings from snowy Finland, where everything is now under white, smooth snow until next April :)
Your sky photos are again so brilliant, such a wonderful light in them.
Happy weekend to you!

Beautiful contribution again, Gemma. Here in the Netherlands it is cold and raining cats and dogs, so the sky is also grey, but thát kind of grey I don't want :-)
Greetings!

When the last light will be gone shadows and silhouettes disappear.
I enjoy the last light listening to the blog musik.

Visiting Skywatchers, I've seen many colorful pictures today.
Your serie is rest for the eyes. Nature can create such color harmony in B&W Monochrome.
Absolute softness of the night.
