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)

What an etherial spot...I am such a romantic I could see a young couple sitting nearby or even being married there. Such a beautiful photograph. It is magical with its textures and muted colors. Lovely. Genie

I find reflections hypnotic too, Gemma. I remember a little mountain pool where I stood for a long, long time, just staring at the trees and sky in the water.
