I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
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)

Yes, this is stunning. I hope you got to sit and enjoy this spot for a while. I have a three year old usually with me and such relaxation is not possible yet. Your words of poetry fit this scene well.
What a beautiful spot for photos!
Wow! This is just gorgeous Gemma! What a wonderful place it would be to just sit for awhile with a book (or a camera!!!).
Thank you so much for sharing this at The Creative Exchange this week.
Have a wonderful day!
lisa.
Happy Autumn to you! Lovely photo and poem!
I might need to live there.
;)
That is a lovely shot! Certainly a sweet shot and a romantic setting! Good job!
You captured the sereness of this beautiful place...yes, I'd like to linger and breathe in the fresh air and tranquility.
Love the name of your blog.
