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)

Pale breath of sunset
Pink blushing whirls of cotton
Fading summer skies

NICE! Pale, light, dreaming, like them.
End of summer for you, and we are waiting for the spring.

Who could have painted
these fleeting skies of summer?
Renoir or Monet?
