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)

Love your celebration of Edvard Munch's birthday. I think even Edvard would have enjoyed this. His scream would be one of joy! :D

I had overlooked the fact of E M's birthday. Come to think of it, it's time I looked him up again. Thanks for reminding me. The scenery looks gorgeous, by the way - certainly doesn't look about to sceam!
