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)

Hot Morning


Early yesterday, the summer temperature for the day was already high.
(The temperature reached 43 degrees centigrade.)
And people were heading for water.
This photo was taken at Dromana beach.


the light sizzles
waters imitate
tempting ice

I wish we were having some of that wonderful warmth. It has been so cold and dreary for so long and we have show forecast again for tomorrow. This is getting real old. If only I could hop a plane and pop over for a visit :-)

43 C, that's really high, isn't it? I bet the people are really grateful for the soothing coolness of the sea. Our temp right now is 23 F with blowing winds.
