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)

Morning Skies

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Morning light over Dromana beach, Mornington Peninsula (I took a series of pics of this sky. It was just amazing. I have already posted one view of it earlier in my blog. It was called On the Edge of Night ~ June 9, 2008. Now this is a second version.)

Crisp morning skies are
Streams of pastel gems
Sailing powdery rivers
~
Silver feathers
Dusting off sleep

The art of beauty
Nature's way

P.S. This is my first posting for Sky Watch. So many participate in this weekly event, I thought I should be well-prepared to post early. And thank you so much Bobbie for suggesting I enter!

For a more artistic view of the sky, see my posting Blurred Time on Auragem Songlines.

Subtle shades in your skies. Is cycling allowed on the walkway ? Arkansas Stamper put up an increadible high walkway bridge.
Thanks for looking by.
