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)

Good morning Gemma, very beautiful pictures this week. :)

That's exactly what I was thinking...ancient columns near the edge of the sea, the rest of the city at the bottom of the waves, Poseiden's realm looking up, dreaming to be human and walk the shores, as we dream to be 'neath the waves exploring her wonders. Ahhh, the life of an over-active imagination...LOL!

Hope your day was wonderful, mine was wet and cold...but fruitful.

I like the view of "looking out to sea" :)
Hope your day was a good one!

Phantastic - I love how you "framed" the sea.

Have a great day!
