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)

Fleeting View from a Latticed Cage


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Buy my art
The circus has arrived at Rosebud, a small coastal township on the Mornington Peninsula.
One lion rests in a large cage with an electrified fence and a ball.

Summer by the sea
Wild soul in a latticed cage
A glimpse of freedom

A fleeting glimpse. Perhaps that's all freedom is. Beautiful image.
