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)

Hi Gemma, I was just browsing around to see if anyone else had posted MM yet. I love your shot - it's sort of eerie, but I love those clouds! Come see mine as it's already up, too. :D

Nice picture, Gemma. Does have the mystery look off opening titles in a flim.

Quite an ominious sky really - swirling and powerful. The sepia emphasises this aspect of your image. Your poem indicates that you see this as a more benign sky than I do.

I see someone else said ominous, that's exactly what I thought when I looked at that shot. Beautiful but ominous. Carver's Photoblog

It looks like someone is home up there, with lights on behind lacey curtains. Beautiful sky.
