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)

What a beautiful rainbow of colors to awaken you each morn, makes you just want to daydream a little longer in the emerald mists...and I know how two souls can wander these paths. Romantic hearts just seem to linger a bit longer, aye...

What a beautiful panorama you've shared, I can almost smell the salty sea air and the warm(hot)summer breezes...we long for them over here in the frigid West...and long to be barefoot in the tall green grasses of summer...but I'll wait my turn, as we must, 'cause my wishes would shorten yours, we wait too long for time needed in summer to wash away the winter blues...so this is your season in the sun, but I can't help but dream of it...right!

Enjoy your summer Sunday, I think of you often, as I wait for those wonderful shots of the sea from your veranda...sending you oodles of love from the frozen states.

...and hugs...s

How brilliant!

Ralph said...

The shadows are colorful, indeed. What an elegant shadow made by the frosted glass texture - the depth is seen in the original and the shadowy pose on the wall. Stunning yet understated, this is a wonderful picture!

Finally here. I didn't find your Greyscale Territory on Mr. Linky's list - because on Mr. Linky you're Gemma. Oh boy. Maybe next time you could leave your name Gemma in your comment...

Beautiful posting, shadows and words!
Have a great week ahead!

Hey Harriet said...
