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)

A clear red cross on a stark white building: beautiful capture.

Wow...interesting color choice for a cross on a church - it reminds me of the Red Cross! Hi from California and enjoy the day!

Gemma, this cross against the whole white chapel is perfect. Simplicity is somehow the more effective.
