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)

Now if we could just erase the footprints of man, the views would be perfect...but then again, we wouldn't be able to take our digital shots if it were all gone, nor would we be sharing with the other side of the world these magnificent views...I guess it is what it is.

Thanks for the tour of your world friend and the fab closeup of your little, feathered friend...what a view from your veranda...WOW!

Hugs...s

I like skies with a touch of peach colors in it, gives out a warm and cosy feel :)

Nice pictures from down under. We are seeing the sky having conflict as spring and summer arrive, while you are having just the opposite with summer at its end. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely shots, Gemma!
It must be a great feeling tosee the sun rise in those soft colours.

One of the things about SWF I love, is to read it's autumn now at your place, while it's spring overhere. Kind of strange ... :-)

Enjoy your weekend.
