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)

The sepia mutes this view of the flower a bit, which allows our imagination to work a bit, giving us look at something radically different. I almost see a conch or some king of mollusk. This is a nice view and exercise (for me anyway...)

Very soft and pleasing to the eye. Wonderful capture.

It's gorgeous. I've never heard of "winter" lillies -- but it looks very similar to a calla lily - I'm going to have to google it!

This looks great in sepia. It looks very artistic, and a bit abstract. Really lovely photo!
