Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Dawn light on the hottest day on record in Melbourne.
It reached 46.4 degrees centigrade.
This image is taken in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula, south of Melbourne on Port Phillip Bay.
(Records began in 1855)
By the close of the day, the whole state of Victoria, Australia seemed on fire.
Strangely, Arthurs Seat National Park (just behind my home) escaped.
There were just a couple of small fires in my area, but not in the park.
I feel blessed.

Glowing sky boom gates
Illusions of fiery seasons
Ominous hushed breath

Burnings boom today
Delusions of grandeur bomb
Cold awakening

Boom and bust cycle
Pale smoky rainbow limbo
Sobering new dusk

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ As evening approached, the sky became a smoky enigma of storm clouds broken by a stray, fragile rainbow

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)
