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)

I like the line 'Quiet beauty in waiting'. Using the opening in the sea wall frames this picture beautifully and focuses us on the sea and there is an interesting contrast in the natural rocky outcrops and the orderly man-made steps and wall.

I'm going to try to take some photos today! I have lots of inspiration around me!

I enjoy looking at the water..very peaceful. Was born in a town that had the sound/bay right there..
Always smelled the salt water at low tide..I think it will always stay with me..
