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)

And yet our eyes see beyond
Are we passing by

Gemma,
Thanks for your comments on my blog. This photograph is so striking and stunning. I could not even fathom how to draw such a thing. However, the image is very stirring and reminds of the paradox on oneness and individuality in the marriage relationship.
Thanks for sharing.
By the way, I love that dome shot you got on your last post...amazing.
I have stumbled upon so many kindred spirit bloggers from Australia lately, and my daughter just finished a unit studying Australia in school. You seem to have an amazing, varied country.
Cheers,
Leah
