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)

Stephen has done the same topic - yours is tidier and more intellectual that ours. Makes an excellent mono subject.

Very symmetric and full of associations - well done!

Carolina said...

That is a very intellectual and indeed classical mantlepiece display you have there ;-)

EG CameraGirl said...

Neat, clean and inviting. ;-)

I love the framing and I love the title.

Do they get on well together ? (I watch you separated the composers with Shakespeare).
Colours wouldn't have brought anything to this perfect subject.
Interesting title too.
