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)

A sunset blue sky
Brightening to bruised beauty
Finally dark tears

I think I like the last picture best - so brooding and the contrast with the light - great shot!

Hello Gemma,
I enjoyed your capture of the blue skies and clouds in Australia.
Also I like the design of your page and the addition of music. I am new to blogging. Enjoy reading your blog. Happy Skywatch Friday.

It's surprising how much YOUR skies in Australia resemble the skies I see in Southern California ... and I always enjoy your Haiku ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
