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)

2008 Closes in Sepia

To celebrate the passing of 2008, and the hush before the dawn of 2009, I chose to create a sunset sky in nostalgic sepia tones.

This is gonna be the best year...I just feel it in my bones. It just feels right for some reason.

Have a wonderful New Years and know I'll be sendin' hugs from afar...though I'll probably be drunk, my Grandson turns 21 at 12:45AM New Years Day...no stress here...of course it's for medicinal purpose only! Ha!

Talk to ya next year friend!

Cheers and PEACE!
