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)

Soft colours of dawn
Whispering eyes of morning

Such calming images of the twilight, Gemma.

I feel the elements of the early morning and the sunset soothe every fold of my senses.

The pictures serve to satiate the eyes with multitudes of beauty.

Your words complimenting the gems gave them special glow that penetrates the heart.

I wish you well.

postscripts:

I got busy after my vacation finishing my art prtfolio. I finally completed my painting collection and my online portfolio is ready for viewing in my web nook. I am just waiting for the priting house to finish the prints of the portfolio and it would be ready to go around Art Galleries here in Chicago, and fate would determine where this road would take me from here. I trust God to the works now for me, I did what I have to do.

Thank you very much for your birthday greeting, I'm sorry that you're unable to view all the pictures for some reason that I can't also explain: this mysteries of technology. Hehehe!

I wish you well.

This is so true. The morning blushes gently and the evening roars. Beautifully captured.

Your pink and golds DO glow beautifully. I always seem to miss the morning ones here as I live on the west side of a hill. I should try harder to catch the morning colours! ;-)

Great shots of sunsets. Mornington Peninsula is a great place, we were there couple of years ago. Thanks for visiting my 'My Brisbane' blog.

Such different climes we have, my sweet, dear friend, as I traverse your world from far across the sea...I can see your winter in the sweatshirts and the clouds...it's not fair that we can't share the seasons...and it's REALLY not fair that my winters are so dreadful...beautiful to look at, from afar to be sure, but not so wonderful to live each day.

But I'll dream in your springtime, when mine has long since passed.

Have a wonderful day dear one...I'll see ya in the shadows!

Hugs...s

I liked your way of doing this: Morning and evening compared. I'll go for the clear morning.

What a gorgeous series. I like the way the light gets deeper and richer in each progressive click. Fiery sunsets are my favorite.
