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)

Cannibalistic Waters


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Fisherman at Sorrento Back Beach, Mornington Peninsula

Friday Flash 55

Somehow, hordes of wild mouthed waves cavorting to shore are like some crazy reapers, threshing around for choice bruises in the harvest; gathering and dragging them out to oceanic chaos. It’s wise for guilty souls to stay just out of reach on the sands. Fishing is a good way to spend ugly thoughts, ugly memories.

Restless Frontiers


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ At one end of Sorrento Back Beach on Westernport Bay, Mornington Peninsula, the waters can get quite unpredictable and wild.
Often the tide is too high for a walk down here.
But on this day, I dared to venture beyond the sands and found a cave, with restless waters in front of it.

Dark and eerie cave
Restless winds and restless seas
Sacred hiding place

Energised Whirlygig


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A rescue holicopter hovering over a rock (offshore Sorrento Back Beach on Westernport Bay) created an unusual scenic seascape.

Scenic Sunday #90
SOOC Sunday #74
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ More surprising, the helicopter, for just a moment or two, landed on the rock!
~

Spinning metal wings
Freely flying whirlygig
Like a charged real toy
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ More surprising still, I was able to hold the camera steady (I was excited about all this!) as the helicopter took flight again and I managed to get a shot before it quickly rose in the air!

A Sign for Sweet Meat


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ The Mornington Peninsula is a holiday playground.
It's the Easter weekend; the traffic from Melbourne heats up.
And holiday time delivers some rather strange travellers.
This van was spotted at Sorrento Back Beach on Westernport Bay.
It advertises the sweet attraction of outdoor buffs to some of Nature's critters.

Photo Hunt #207 ~ Sweet

Fresh sweet outdoor life
Sweet scents of sea and bushland
Sweet meat for natives
