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)

The red umbrella looks so inviting on that warm beach. The picture is of warmth, and up here we could use it - 6 in/15 cm of snow tomorrow. A look again at your photo warms things up. Happy New Year!

Interesting scene...you've got a person in the background, doing something in the water, the red umbrella, and those two delightful gulls.
