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)

Beautiful shots - reminds me of that part in the movie "Braveheart" when he and his new bride were in the misty woods for their wedding night. Have a heavenly week. :)

Mythical misty haze. It remins me of the film Excalibur, the beginning. enchanting images.

We had fog this morning too...it gives such a misty view of the city where I live, which means I can't see it all and that's the way I like it. Silent mists on the edge of the country...then the traffic starts around 6:30 in the morning, commuters swirling the fog and disturbing my brief peace. But the day was a perfect 70 degrees and I enjoyed every second, all too soon they will be ice crystals.

Magical images! The haze creates a magic of its own, doesn't it?

Kim said...

Haze really makes things look a little scary doesn't it :)
