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)

What a beautiful peaceful shore! I'd love to go for a long walk there! Today I went for a long walk along the shores here on the West Coast of Sweden. Not bad after nine months in landlocked! Can't race the horizon with a horse, and it's still too cold to swim in, but the sea is really beautiful!

Cool and clear, somewhere I can relate to - it looks familiar somehow.

The sea is so calm in the bay, astonishing for the time of year.
