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)

Such an amazing scene - such lovely light on the water.

Gemma,
This is so very beautiful. I apologize for getting back to you so late after you visited me on photohunt.

Service pack 3 wiped out a ton of files on my PC and I have been working on it all afternoon.

Wow this is very lovely and your words are so lovely too!!

Blessings for a wonderful day!!

I love the slant leading towards the right and the lone figure in the photo is perfect for giving a sense of distance and depth within the picture. Lovely pic and text too.
