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)

Purling grey skyscape
Like soft secrets set adrift
Subtle pale beauty

Lovely skies with the trees in the corner. The Mornington Peninsula has many wonderful places - I'm heading down to Rye in April and love driving along the coast.
Cheers.

Grey is pastel purple and silver and lots of other delicate colours. Great shots!

Ladyfi is right, grey is pastel purple and silver, it's just when even that subtle beauty hangs around too long it becomes easier to just see dull gray. Yours are luminous and delicate, Gemma, and beautiful as are your words. Hope you have a lovely weekend -- regardless of the color! :)

I liked the 3rd one from the bottom. The faint coppery tinge lending a glimmer of Hope :)

The subtle beauty of the sky so well expressed. I adore the swirling grey infused with a touch of the sun.

The tinge of color makes these pictures beautiful. It is always amazing how fast the color changes.
