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)

Dark trees in pale light
Shades of an Autumn sunset
Remember a hill
~
(There were three trees
Upon a hill
And they spoke to the whispering wind...
)

Those trees look almost like calligraphy!

Love your haiku, too!

I like the first one best. You really get the feeling that the clouds are moving.

All great photos but the first is my favourite, those trees are perfect.

The first is my fave too. I like the monochromatic quality - quite dramatic.

Wonderful photos...

I really like the first one ... the way the trees are silhouetted against the beautiful sunset...

Very nice

We have had some skies like that here. The clouds look like fish scales. Beautiful. Thanks for visiting my Journal.
