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)

So nice! Hazy and dreamy landscapes, dreamscapes :) I like the slow, pondering atmosphere of these photos.

Although we are 'antipodes' to one another, there is always a common landscape (blogscape) were we all can meet :)

I love your haiku for this picture. It is really good. When you look at the picture you can see chess pieces. Hope all is well.
