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)

Chilled pale wintry blues
Dreaming to lapping rhythms
Moored waiting journeys

We could use a bit of that cool wintry blue right now. It was nice over the weekend but now the humidity is back up.. my hair turns into a mop of curls when I step outside. Lovely shot!
