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)

Gloves
Stylish yesterdays
We may appear groomed and adorable but we are different
White gloves and black gloves
Crossed hat
I survived

This is thought-provoking. Good versus evil? That is a theme that never ends...

They are dressed alike in so many ways so as not to look too "different," but their attire is different in enough ways to make them look unique...just like girls today! I like your take on this week's picture.
