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)

Amazing capture! Must have been some storm...

This truly is an amazing capture. I've tried to do the same and did not have success.

Amazing capture of lightning and words!

I wrote about lightning, too. Now that I finally have a camera to capture it, I live in a place that rarely has lightning.

Good poem, great description.

This works so well.

I love the "brooding" silhouttes instead of just clouds. Brings people and their emotions straight into the poem. Thank you for this.
