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)

Amazing summer morning cloud patterns over the Dromana Hills



Dramatic cloud worlds
Like wind blown cotton patches
Fragile soft beauty

Scudding White Clouds


Autumn morning skies in Dromana looking over Port Phillip Bay

Bunched white scudding clouds
Like feathery marshmallow
Whipped up on a cake

Light and Colour


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A late summer view of Dromana coastal walk, beach and pier, Mornington Peninsula
Mount Martha is in the distance.

Theme Thursday ~ Light

So strange

In summer there can be clouds in the sky
But if they are soft and white and fluffy
We say that it is still a bright summer's day

The clouds look warm
Drifting in warm light

And yet
White clouds on a winter's day
Seem so different
Still soft and white and fluffy
But we say it is a dull winter's day

The clouds look cold
Drifting in cold light

Does that mean that air temperature
Lights colour and
Colours colour?

So strange
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A photo taken just this winter's afternoon at Safety Beach, Mornington Peninsula.
Safety Beach is the next beach after Dromana and closer to Mount Martha.

White Wednesday #12

N.B. This is my first White Wednesday post!
Perhaps white objects are meant to be posted, but this white cloud seemed so solid, I decided to begin with something different!

Like shimmering wool
Threading the sky with
Lucent dreams and
A magic carpet for
The journey

A cloudy morning
Blooms with
Brightness
