Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ It is so strange that when there are grey clouds with sun breaking through, if the waters of Port Phillip Bay are fairly calm, they sparkle with radiant light!
This photo is taken at Dromana, Mornington Peninsula.
On the left of this view is the opening from the bay (The Rip) to Bass Strait and across the strait is Tasmania.
To the right is Melbourne.

I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
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)

Hi Gemma -- I love this picture -- what a great place to dream. And I appreciate the geography lesson -- as I am almost illiterate about geography -- and I love to learn.
I saw your comment on Everday Life". Water is our world too.
Beautiful shot! Happy Weekend and thanks for stopping by my blog.
