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)

Electric Morning Golds


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Winter's morning sunrise in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.
Not long afterwards, cyclic bursts of wild winds, rain and hail began.

Charged fireworks of gold
Shadowy omens gather
Heavenly chaos

These are miraculous images. The orange and gold against the black are a very striking combination.

Fabulous photos, I have to agree - liquid gold on the clouds. I quite like rain and hail too, as long as I'm not outdoors in it :)
