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)

Tangled woods
Reach for grey sunlights
Sleep by grey waters
Weep quietly in grey winds
~
Winter is a river of intimate time when
The soul snuggles deep in
Some technicoloured dreamcoat
Adrift in some bark
Waiting

A FEW NOTES: In the first pic, the tree outline has been darkened to emphasise the artistry of shape! The second pic is simply a "greyed out" background and darkened tree to highlight the lovely shape. The third pic has had some extra darkening to the tree shapes, last hanging leaves on limbs, and then a blur effect has been added plus a sepia tone. (I'm afraid that I played a fair bit with this one! Couldn't resist!) The fourth pic has simply been taken as a black and white pic with no effects added later!
