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)

Dream Journeys

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Dream Journeys (Click to enlarge and magnify for best effect!)

Creative Photography Contest #4
~

The journey may be a bridge
Open to walkers
Linking ocean dreams and
Islands of new realities
~
But
When waters are calm
It is possible
To swim
Peacefully
Unhindered
To the skies
