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)

It is funny how "detail" can disrupt what we imagine. Thank you for a lovely poem and a beautiful photograph.

I really like the picture. It contrasts the cold and snow we have here. Well done.

Things are not as they seem; we create them to be not as they seem. How we complicate life as we climb toward wisdom!
