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)

I keep forgetting you are in Autumn. These skies are phenomenal, and I hope not too unsafe.

Dramatic skies...somewhat ominous.

Powerful clouds! I wouldn't dare to be trapped in these forces of nature. Have a great weekend, Gemma :)

Yeah, something like a dramatic sky. Did it really storm? :)

There is one thing I don't like about spring...once it begins, we are one day closer to winter, now is that weird...maybe I should start thinking about wintering in a warmer climate somewhere...ha!

A beautiful 70 degrees we had today and I was diggin' in someones basement for old treasures to make new again, got some good stuff too.

I love the Victorian attitude about proper attire, they would role over in their graves these days...ha!

Later...gotta unload the truck...s

Wow! Awesome skies! Photographing clouds when it's about to rain are always a good idea.. :)

It is always difficult for us on this side of the globe to remember that you are now "for it", while we are having spring. But autumn also brings photo opportunities like this.
