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)

Freshly shining by the sea
Spirits feel lifted

What a friendly, warm beach hut.

A welcoming sight on what appears to be quite a grim day.

I'm headed for a conference at the beach in just a little bit here... but unfortunately, you're not likely to find anything this simple where I'm going. Real estate there is just too dear for anything like that.

Interesting paint job. :-) Is this like the tents they used to have that were striped?

That hut looks so cool. I love the anchor on it too.

what a friendly beach hut. I bet it looked smashing next to the sand and the water. Wish I was there. Happy Blue Monday.

This blue is very elegant, not jumping on your eyes :)

Nice aquatic theme - the alternating blue and white with the anchor. Very nice!
