Luminous sunset
Filmy waves of feathered cloud
Dustings of pale light

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)

Amazing hues from that sunset. That first photo with a glint of the sun through the railing before it sets down for the day, is stunning.
Beautiful to sit there and soak this in!
