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)

Definitely a beautiful shot. Sepia adds such an aged look to its subject. Your words remind me everything has it time here and then its gone. Well done. Have a nice night.

I'm so sad to see the warm weather fade for you, it's so cold and damp here today, it has me feeling the dread of winter already. A friend up North in Michigan has her plants covered, as frost threatens tonight. This is the coldest, dampest spring that I can remember...but my yard is bursting with color, so I guess it's not that bad after all...unless it snows...then I'm movin' south!!!

See ya soon at SSS my friend...s
