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)

Love that haiku!
It's looks a bit cool and cloudy but a very lovely spot :).
Lovely if indecisive skies for the day, Gemma, and the perfect words to match! Hope you have a great weekend!

Love it. Sometimes your pictures remind me so much of home! (in Florida).
Beautiful!
My entry.
It looks as a grey day, could be a sky of Belgium except we don't have palm trees, lol !
I wouldn't mind hanging out there! And I wouldn't mind some indecisive skies!
perfect shot! Can I have one of these?? Please. :)
Beautiful!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Very nice shot.
Regards and best wishes
