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)

Trees guard this main street
Walkways graced with leafy shade
Shopping with Nature

Thanks for a beautiful, peaceful blog. I like the music you chose, too.

Stopping here is always so replenishing! I enjoy that change of perspective, and following as we go through 'opposite seasons.' That's a lovely looking spot, hardly like a busy main street at all with the trees.

Trees definitely keep a place from looking like a concrete jungle. Plus, the shade is always nice.
