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)

Hastings Summer Skies


Skies at Hastings on Westernport Bay


Wide canvas of clouds
A plain of gentle waters
A touch of mangroves

Very beautiful photo for SWF,Gemma!
I saw at TV the terrible situation with the heat wave and fires in Australia!I wish I could send you some gray clouds with rain because we have enough of them since 2 weeks!
Thank you for sharing and have a nice weekend!

Marvelous capture for the day, Gemma, such a peaceful looking place and beautiful skies! I, too, hope you're not suffering from the heat wave that I've been reading about! Wish I could send you some of the rain that is falling right now!! Have a great weekend, stay cool!

So great and especially for me coming from the north, here we have winter and there are little green trees and blue water.
Lovely picture, Marit.
