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)

I very much enjoy the sound of waves crashing on the beach or rocks.
this looks like a place where the rest of the tourists did not know yet. i want to take a walk there.
I love watching the surf rolling onto a nice sandy beach!!! I will meet you there!
This is definitely a rough sea day. The way you captured the whitecaps and the swirling waves is cool. The colors are so pretty and remind me of many rough waters on the Atlantic.
It does look rough.
Nice shots Gemma, I really enjoyed that beach in the dim distant past of my youth.
Live 20 min. from the beach and I love rough waters and lots of foam!
a wonderful relaxing photo - there's nothing as soothing as gazing out to sea no matter how rough the waters maybe.. Judith
This must be a wonderful place for a relaxing walk :)

It is indeed rough but the surrounding is so lovely!
Watery Wednesday
There is nothing quite like the beach and the constant moving ocean waters. Sigh! I can just smell the salt air.
Nature in action...yes! Beautiful photos Gemma.
