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)

I like it that they seem to mind their own business and happy with that. :)

Peaceful indeed. Such a lovely light in this picture too.
Cannot help but feel that these sheep are a bit overdue for sheering though. Hopefully they did not have to wait much longer. The pony is so cute.

This is a very nice rural scene. Even though it's in Australia, you could find very similar views here in many areas of the U.S. Thanks for participating in Sunday Scenery this week.
