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)

She doesn't look terribly happy - I wonder what she is thinking. A remarkable sculpture.

Wow, that is well done.

The picture makes me want to know more about her.

Ralph said...

This look is gripping, we gan only guess of mood or reason: Angry? Pensive? Deep in thought? The artist here lets us dwell and imagine - the working of art in our minds. Neat!
