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)

Perfectly titled. It is a classic shot.

Olga said...

That is a gorgeous photo! Looks very nostalgic.

Catherine said...

It has no time, this picture could have been taken in the 70's or yesterday. That's the magic of
B&W pictures.
I love the title too. And of course the subject. In B&W we get the essentiel atmosphere of that perfect moment.

Catherine is correct, it has a timeless feel despite the clothing.

Catherines words are excellent! Could be any one of us at some point in our childhood.

Mojo said...

Seems we were of similar minds this week! There's a poignancy about this that's only possible in B&W.

Love it!
