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)

You know what surprise me ? That picture could be taken in many countries around the word.
Timeless in B&W and Universal !

Catherine is right. But then, fishermen are everywhere... even beside frozen rivers.

It is true it's such universal image, a great leveller.

Nice one, Gemma. I see lots of stories hidden in the photo, not only the tales of the old gent sitting on the dock but also the many stories that lie in the old and worn wood of the small boat. Intriguing...
