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)

New Year in the Skies


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Yesterday, the Christmas atmosphere at Portsea Hotel, Mornington Peninsula was waiting for the joy of celebration with a little sky for reflection.
I took this photo from the outside through the giant window!
For some strange reason, just the sky reflected in the right top corner.

Ooo ... I would have liked to be looking at the seas from Portsea yesterday. Today in Sydney it is cold and wet and bleak.

I wish you heath and happiness as we travel into 2010.

Neat reflection Gemma. Looks as though a real piece of the sky found it's way indoors. Merry Christmas.
