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)

Dark Living

Shadows
Like silken waters
Like silken waters running
Running in deep nights
~
Living
Living in darkness
Living in secretive nights
Like secret waters
~
Blindness
Blindness in darkness
Sailing dark waters blindly
Sailing in secret
~
Stagnant
Stagnant still waters
Stagnant life in the shadows
Frozen dark living

I love using the word shadow, it conjures up so many visions, both pleasant and non, especially when describing the sea, her deep mysteries...secret waters, beautiful.

The dichotomy of the sea. It can be tranquil or it can be stormy. In this almost monochrome shot, I can't tell which will be this day...

I like the way you use water to qualify shadows.
