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)

Restless rough waters
Demanding a place in space
Bold identity

Dramatic shot and beautiful words. I think bold identity sums it up perfectly.

Lovely ocean scene. I love the sea and am blessed to live only about three miles from the Pacific coast, south of San Francisco, about fifteen miles. I love the ocean in all its many moods and it has afforded me some great pictures.

I did a wonderful two week, Sydney to Auckland cruise about 14 years ago...only two weeks before in Sydney, one day stops in Melbourne and Hobart - not nearly enough.

At 65, I've done it! My poetry book - Life's Journey by Carmen Henesy - is out on Amazon!
( Poems about the things that have been important to me in my journey through life, some humorous, some sad, some that may have meaning to you as well )
