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)

"Like dreaming from clouds." I like that! Well put.

It is like dreaming from the clouds.

That reminds me of the haiku I once wrote for a fantasy of mine :

Dreams drift like clouds,
I reach to touch the moon,
I grasp but empty night.

I love the new look to your blog. Have a great weekend. Thanks for the lovely words in your comment about my latest post, Roland

I like your mailbox photos. We have some crazy mailboxes in North Carolina. My favorite looks like a fish and you have to put your hand in its mouth to get the mail!

Oh I wouldn't mind living up on that hill with that great view of the beach and the ocean :)
Lovely shot!

The view reminds me of the Coogee Beach.

I would love that slow drive up that slope and admiring the houses and views along the way.

A very peaceful day on that peace, I think people are under the blanket still, like me it's very cold here. Very nice photo always. Hope you had a wonderful weekend.
