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)

Q is for Quiet

ABC Wednesday Round 3 ~ Q is for Quiet
Watery Wednesday prompt #9
~

No sign of clumped buildings
No sign of cars on congested roads
No sign of crowds milling round some bargain sale
Just
Clumped trees tumbling down a mountain side
A landscape congested with beaming waters beneath luminous clouds
Thoughts milling around the awe of Nature's beauty
~
Just
Quiet

'In awe' is definitely the right choice of words. These are beautiful scenes. Makes me wonder just how beautiful the world was in the beginning. It must have been awesome in every direction.

Wow! What an amazing view. It took me a minute to realize I was looking at the reflection of the clouds on the water. It's so intense it looked like a sky full of clouds over the trees. Awesome!
