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)

Scenic Sunday Morning

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Sunday morning at Dromana Hub carpark

Photostory Friday prompt

Nothing really scenic in this image?
Hmmmmmmmmm
~
No sunlight
No clear skies
A little rain
A few puddles
All easy to see in
Panoramic,
Empty
Space of
No cars
No people
No wayward shopping trolleys
No traffic in the background
~
No haste
No pressure
No waiting
~
Aaaaaahhh
A glorious scene made in
Sunday morning heaven

Must be real early in the morning when the shot was taken? Rare to see an empty carpark especially on a Sunday.heehee...

I see the road
I see the land
I see the rain
All is grand.

Perfect words to give a gray day meaning. You are right as longer as one looks at the picture as quieter it becomes. Every cloud has a silver lining! Have a nice weekend.

I like it. But I like emptyness.

Sorry the words to a Keith Urban song come to mind: "Pray that it's raining on Sunday"
