THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
Autumn is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter.
Autumn whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key.
~ Gemma Wiseman
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)

That was dramatic views and beautiful. Have a great day!
I keep forgetting you are in Autumn. These skies are phenomenal, and I hope not too unsafe.
Dramatic was the first word that came to mind.

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
I love the last one best! Very beautiful skies.
Lovely. We get those two different layers of clouds too. Always intriguing.
Spectacular.

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.
Dramatic expressive pictures!
Oh my! You captured some really stunning moment of light and shadow. They just glow!!
a very stormy series...liked the third and fourth very much. beautiful captures.
I enjoyed your storm series.
Stormy clouds in deed - great captures
great building storm clouds, wish we had some too.
Lovely haiku for these dramatic skies! Hope these clouds bring rain.
Hugs and blessings,
Great pictures. I'd love to travel in Australia. BTW - I don't usally like music on sites, because it is always loud and nasty. Your music is wonderful and very good! Thanks ... Tn., USA
