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)

It may be Winter
Perhaps grey clouds block sunlight
But friendship is warm

The sepia tone seems to make the sheep's wool texture stand out. I guess that the sepia adds the winter starkness to this fine photo. Differences did not mar their friendship, but make them even stronger friends. A lovely sentiment!
