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)

Streaks of Morning


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Early morning winter sky a year ago in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula
We have had more grizzly weather recently, so it was time to delve into the archives.

Cold morning delights

Dive into those archives any time you want to if they are as beautiful as this; part of why I take pictures is to look back at the good ones on gray (literal or otherwise) days.

Namaste!
