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 great shot. I love the look of that old weathered wood against the deep blue water.

My Watery Wednesday post is up. Wanted to let you know I created a separate blog for Watery Wednesday. I explained it in my post. Hopefully it will make it easy on everyone to find it from now on. :-)

Thanks for participating! :-)

This is why they call it the deep blue sea, such a beautiful shade of blue, looks like it may have been late afternoon...wonderful surf-weathered guard rails...this old man of the sea is a harsh old salty dog, but very handsome indeed. You are so fortunate to be able to take these seaside strolls, it's just not the same on a river...even a mighty one, but it does have a beauty all it's own...I'm not complaining...well, maybe a little...ha.

Tomorrow I will be posting some pics of the beautiful river mansions in my town, you will love them!

I too love to walk along my own edge of the sea. Very different shores - but the same ocean!

Just staring out into the Ocean equates to a hypnotic journey to other shores for me. Thanks for sharing your eyes.
