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)

Summer Wears a Cool Face


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Today should be a summer's day. But the clouds are moody, the air is very cool, and the waters at Dromana, Mornington Peninsula seem to be quietly brooding.

Watery Wednesday #17

Eerie summer day
Grey dramas circling waiting
Deep cool reflections

I can relate to the idea of some clouds being Moody. :)

The quietly brooding waters and sky make for quiet contemplation. I'd love a walk there.
Beautiful image!

It looks like a peaceful and quite day by the beach.

I like days at the beach like this, maybe because they do seem a little moody, thoughtful and layed back.

I too like grey, moody days at the beach. Here in California we get far too many sunny days without any clouds. However, up in the state of Washington, where I spend part of my time, the weather is far more interesting. Lots of changes day in and day out - not the same thing everyday. Thanks. I really like your shot. Linnea

Some days are sunny; some days are not -- so it goes. But I your photo, regardless. :-D

I can identify with "moody" weather for sure! I said this morning that is has to snow, because in the last 48 hours we've seen everything else! It seems the weather is different every time I stick my head out the door the last 2 days!

Your clouds look ominous -- even threatening -- but they do make an interesting photo!

This is what the weather looks like around here today ... cool, grey, foggy.
Hugs and blessings,

I love the expanse! It's beautiful!

Olga said...

I think moody is the perfect way to describe it!

I've been having blogger issues of late, have commented to you a couple of times, but they never materialized...anyway, I think it's all AOK now...it took the cure!

Love the clouds and the moon, what a lovely shot for a poem and wistful thoughts, of course the beautiful music is a must.

Enjoy your summer friend, as our days are getting longer, I know yours are getting short. But we'll take them gladly, however long or short, they're our days!

Hugs from afar!
