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)

What a beautiful home, especially in tones of sepia, but your haiku makes me think of the transition America is going through right now...new president and struggling new realities. Let's pray the new hope is followed through for the world.

I bet that rounded room in the corner of that home is a really cozy place. Nice choice for sepia!

What a beautiful home! It has turned out very nicely in the sepia - I think it draws the eye to more of the detail than colour would have.

That's a great sepia choice.

Gemma, what a nice choice for sepia. The house looks cozier and inviting.

You found a beautiful house to turn sepia.

This reminds me of an actor's home perhaps in old Hollywood (US)
Nicely done!

I've seen houses like that in Belgium too!! Perfect for a Sepia Scene!

Oh my this is a lovely house. And you got a great shot!! It's perfect for Sepia and I love the shadows drifting across the lawn.
Great pick and great job!!
