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)

Little Girl in Red


Photo taken at London Bridge Ocean Beach on the Mornington Peninsula.
I zoomed in from the cliff top on this little girl who seemed busy with some kind of fishing!

Cuttlefish


A rather large cuttlefish on the sands at London Bridge Ocean Beach, Portsea

Stranded sign of life
Embedded in seaweed sands
Beautiful sadness

Sacred Sand Space


At Rye Back Beach on Westernport Bay the strange shapes of green-capped rocks right on the water's edge fascinated me!

Micro gathering
Rocky mountains and valleys
Like sacred circles

Stretched Viewpoint


A piece of playground equipment at Point Leo on Westernport Bay involved this bendy mirror feature.
The reflection represents a stretched view of the landscape.

Height of Haiku Challenge ~ Rhythm


When the car is parked in the rain and you are sitting inside the car, it is amazing to see how rain rhythms constantly re-create the regular shapes and colours outside.
Here, the red car looks as if it is suffering ongoing battering and the front of the mall behind looks like a passing wave!
Then there is the overall misty effect!
