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)

Morning Meltdown


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A little low cloud on a bright early Winter's morning can create some unusual lighting effects.

How I managed to forget the "claim to fame" of the railway tracks I photographed in my post, I do not know. I can only blame the beer (although I have discovered I type better tipsy than I do sober though I seem to forget things;) ).
