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)

Mellow Yellow Symbols in Plastic


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Plastic slats at the entrance to a Dromana bakery, Mornington Peninsula
Usually these slats are a plain colour, but this one has interesting, abstract yellow shapes set on a blue background.
Could it be that the bakery is near the beach?
Sand and sea?

Mellow Yellow Monday #67

Like strange sandy clouds
Like shapes floating in blue seas
