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)

Even though it's summer here, I can remember many winter days like this! You captured that feeling perfectly! Love your photo, too!

I needed that little bit of winter as a breath of cool under our scorching sun and tragically rainless clouds.

Two prompts nicely accomplished ... from your photo and the lighting, I actually like this time of the day ... it is a short interval and signal the day is closing.

Nicely done! I wouldn't mind a blast of winter for a day or two - it's been so hot here everything is dried up and brown.

I really like it. I think of the light as a little trickster.
