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)

Bright and Stormy Autumn Skies


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ There have been many stormy skies recently in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.
On this particular morning, bright blue skies seemed to be dressed in storm clouds.
Quite a dramatic sight!

Bright and stormy worlds
Bulbous clouds in happy dance
Well lit dark drama

Those look very much like our early Spring storm clouds in Southern California. We had our first (of many) warm sunny days today .
I love the cloud photos you shared, Autumn is my favorite time of year.

It does look like our spring clouds here in Cali.

Enjoy the weekend.

If you like grey so much, you should come for a visit... nothing but grey skies.

Great captures you've got.

At least you won't get a bush fire with all the storms.

We had a bush fire in the Souht Island.
