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)

Dark Spaces


Deep morning shadows on my home wall near the front entrance.

A cloak of shadows
The art of weaving dark space
A patch of sunlight

Point Nepean Shadows


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ On a recent sunny day (there haven't been many!) we drove to Point Nepean at the tip of the Mornington Peninsula.
We boarded this transporter (carriages pulled by tractor) for the last several kilometres and then walked back enjoying the views of Bass Strait and Port Phillip Bay.
And the long morning shadows, while we waited for our transporter, were just delightful and magical.
