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)

Safety Beach in Autumn


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Beautiful Autumn light across the waters of Port Phillip Bay at Safety Beach, Mornington Peninsula

Watery Wednesday #87
3WW #CLXXXIX ~ fear + ignore + weightless

Romantic soft light
Diamond trail across the waves
Nature's treasure map

Time to erase fear
Time to ignore obstacles
Time to be weightless
