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)

Rainbow Dreaming


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ With all the recent rain in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula, there had to be a rainbow or two somewhere.
This is the hint of a late afternoon rainbow.

Very sweet photo of the enigmatic, ineffable Rainbow!

And we know about them here in Hawaii my friend.
Aloha, Gemma-

I heard once that at the end of a rainbow there's a wedding. I couldn't think of a better piece of nature to have at a wedding either. Beautiful shots.

Your bell picture below is nice too. I'm glad I don't have need to ring that bell. Imagine how many lives were lost before it was rung. Have a great day.

Whoa, that's a great capture! We seldom get to see rainbows here, because it has been dry for a while. It also reminds me of the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".

Hey Harriet said...

Oh sweet rainbows! I never fail to get excited when I see them! I love all the colours in the sky in the first photo. Looks all sweet and soft like a piece of artwork done in pastels!

What beautiful shots of your world...a rainbow to me is always a promise of tomorrow...and your stormy ocean shot is fabulous, certainly a stormy winter scene that you were lucky to catch in all of it's majesty.

The bell, as always a warning for a sailor in distress...thanks again for the tour friend...s

Gemma,
I would die to have a shot like this with my name on it!

Gorgeous. Rainbows are so peaceful, and so fleeting. You've captured this one well.

RJ Flamingo said...

How lovely, Gemma! I'm always like a little kid when I see a rainbow... I just think they're magical!
