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)

All of my stuff is on a similar ship making its way from Hawaii to Seattle. I understand a storm at sea caused yet another ship to drop several cargo pods overboard. You might imagine that all this is making me just a bit tense right now!

You're right! It's just like a boat loaded with treasure! Now, I'll never look at a container ship again and see just a boring old transport. :)

Great photo. Don't those things fall in the water when it's choppy? Obviously not.

I always wonder what's in those containers and where they're heading towards :)

Happy RT Gemma!

It is amazing how each container box when seen by itself is really not attractive. Yet when seen in the colors of the rainbow atop the ship when it is loaded with these boxes. A mix of rectangular hues that make the ordinary much more stylish...
