Waters of Port Phillip Bay by evening light over Safety Beach, Mornington Peninsula.
Our first summer sunset!
Gentle fading light
Sweet summer twilight stillness
Hushed warmth of the day
I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
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)
