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)

Winter Surfer


Yes! It is still Winter in my world.
But there are some who still like to be up close and personal with the water.
Last weekend, this guy was paddling round the waters of Westernport Bay just offshore from Point Leo beach.
I remained snug in my warm jacket.

Intrepid surfer
Drawn to the charms of waters
Winter's no object

Oh...I think I prefer your winter to ours! He is probably very snug in his wetsuit.

I hope his wetsuit is warm! When you love the water, not much can stop you from enjoying it, like this man here. Nice capture!

Big bucket

I have to laugh when I see what your winter looks like! Winter is my favorite season, but we gets lots of snow and extremely cold temps. this is a great watery wednesday shot Gemma. I hope you're having a joyful week.
