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)

There is no doubt about it, your blog is a wonder in itself. I love encyclopedias and looking at your pages is like delving into one.

Oh. I want to walk on that beach. That's an excellent photographic composition--hard lines/soft lines, ripples and waves. I love it.

The picture draws me in. Just looking at it escalates my need to get away from it all. Thanks for sharing.
