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)

Dawn's Wintry Light




patches of light
burst from grizzly greys

Melbourne's Autumn Skies


Melbourne's Autumn skies as viewed from the Treasury Gardens - looking toward a pocket of compacted skyscrapers.


Melbourne's Autumn skies
bubbling with soft blues and white
reflecting beauty

Lovely morning light over our slowly evolving new deck.


Our precious bay view
Old dreaming places broken
New ones emerging

Softly shining Autumn waters...this time last year.
A view of Port Phillip Bay from Dromana beach.

Soft Morning Skies


Morning skies over my school car park at Cranbourne


Scattering of clouds
Some dither, some wash and some fade
Like mixed emotions

Beyond the stairs...


My viewing deck is a great place to view skies and Port Phillip Bay.
This view is looking south west.


Beyond the stairway
Invitation to heaven
Like a dream close by

Moody Evening


Moody summer evening skies over Dromana beach

Silver Evening


Silvered evening skies over Dromana beach.
Strange how our summer evenings this year are so varied - both in colour and temperature.
This was an evening of constantly changing colours.


A silvered ev'ning
Hushed waves in whispering greys
Peace for the spirit

Lighthouse and Masts


McCrae lighthouse framed by the masts of yachts at McCrae Yacht Club.
In the background (on the right) is the rising slope of the mountain Arthurs Seat.
History details of the McCrae lighthouse appear HERE on my Mornington Peninsula Daily blog.


Tall masts and lighthouse
Like spears rising to salute
God of metal light

Summer Morning Beach Views


A view of yesterday's summer morning at Balnarring beach on Westernport Bay, looking toward the Somers headland.
I so love low tide at the beach and the interesting rock pools that are left on the sands.


In water-logged sands
Seaweed, shells and odd rock shapes
Scenic wonderland

Patches of Cotton


Amazing summer morning cloud patterns over the Dromana Hills

Queenscliff Skies


Skies over Queenscliff on the Bellarine Peninsula (on the opposite side of Port Phillip Bay from my Mornington Peninsula)
The black lighthouse is the only one of its colour in Australia and it is said that it's one of only three in the world.
The notorious The Rip, just beyond the headland, opens into Bass Strait.


A guarded headland
Watching journeys through The Rip
Like a caring guide

Storm?



Summer morning skies in the Dromana Hills

Like murmurs of nearing storm
Like a soft warning
