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)

In the twilight hours
Last sighs of sinking daylight
Yin and yang entwined

I had to laugh at this one because it used to be illegal for black and white to get together.

Gemma--
twilight is that entwining you talked about that is different than dawn. Can't really place my poetic finger on it...but there is a difference. Maybe you could write another poem about the difference between dawn and twilight! So enjoy your photos and poetry--

The perfect expression of that transitional moment!

Hi Gemma, I am a sow's ear when literary figures are the topic. I know they were entwined like lovers. I see geographical references and others but never to the source (all of five minutes w/Google).
I believe the lady in the wheel chair and her dog may be like yin and yang entwined.

The yin and yang of daylight and darkness was captured wonderfully in both poem and photo.
