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)

The reflections in the water are lovely, I agree!

Thank you for visiting my blog and for your lovely comments.

I like angle of the neck, reaching around the corner of the shot. The shadows and ripples create a lovely texture and "fabric" for the background. Simple hues.

I love everything about this photo, Gemma...the rippled reflections, the soft shadows, and the snowy white of the gull against the darker sand...lovely! This is also a particularly beautiful haiku...I so like "waves of heartbeats"...:)
