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)

SOOC Sunday #71

A whisper of light
A murmur of soft colours
Hints of a rainbow

A whisper of peace
A murmur of soft blankets
Hints of happiness

Your picture and poem really go well together. There is a soft subtleness to how a rainbow is painted on the sky. Cheers, Rob.
