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)

saw Shakespeare live when in high school - little since but it stayed with me. Live is the best way to experience the bard!

absolutely gemma... it is wonderful to turn the switch off the screen goes blank and check out reality thatz not very far afield...live theatre is a wonderful expression of art living and breathing... similar to a live concert...

I wish to try being on a live theater like yours, but there's none here!

Lovely site you have here!

It can be a nice escape to let the mind toil in a different chess game now and again. Enjoyed the haiku, good job!
