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)

A Few Rainy Steps


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ We have not had rain on my Mornington Peninsula since early December 2008.
So this morning, these rain laden steps on my verandah in the Dromana Hills were a glorious sight to see.

Rise or Fall

Simply Snickers prompt ~ stair + step + start + stop

A stair is a fabricated
Rise or fall into
A new level of
Space
~
Many stairs are like a
Subconscious
Temptation to
Step
Down or
Up into
A new frontier ~
To explore
A sense of wonder
A sense of curiosity
~
But sometimes
There are stairs
Masquerading as
Possibilities ~
A false
Start
A disappointing
Cue ~
Those stairs which may once have led
Somewhere
But now
Stop
Halfway
~
Maybe
A broken landscape
~
Maybe
An aloof treasure
A little out of reach
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Stairs at Arthurs Seat that once led to a ride on the chairlift up the mountainside.
Rumours say that the new owner may have it operating again this summer.
Rumours said the same thing last summer.
