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)

Nice wide angle shot Gemma. Ever notice that good photos have a strong diagonal -- sometimes direct, sometimes indirect?

Sylvia said...

Wow! It seems like a very quiet place to live! I love the poodle. Can I splash?

What a great find! Just the right amount of reflected skyscape to make it a lovely fragment.
