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)

Looks like you may have had some rain in those dark clouds, but spring clouds never fail to please.

We have a beautiful sunny day for our traditional Thanksgiving feast and it may even get to the upper 40's...yayyyy...

Have wonderful weekend friend keep looking up, we have many things to be thankful for...always, eyes wide open.

The top three photos look so serene and the bottom three appear to be full of action. I'm jealous that you can see the individual clouds today. It just plain grey overcast this morning where I am.

Wow, amazing pictures! A couple years ago I had my Nature Journaling kids keep a sky journal. They sketched but I think this year I'll have them take pictures, instead!

Thanks for you comment about my 3WW haiku. You are so right that either word works in that last line!

Mojo said...

Eek! Is it Friday already??

Oh. Yeah, I guess it is where you are. Whew! I thought I'd lost a day (good thing my SWF is already scheduled!).

Excellent title for the post and the collection. But that last shot looks like you might've been starting to get a little rotation in those clouds. Hope it didn't turn into anything too serious!

Lovely skies, lovely photos as always.

While watching the clouds and hearing the beautiful merry music, I think the clouds are dancing :-)))
Thanks for sharing, Gemma, till next SWF!

Powerful skies. One can see the blues and the whites and the grays. I really like "Astral pyramids."

Ruth said...

What an interesting series of pictures. Like another commenter said, our skies have been uniformly grey and uninspiring as we head into winter in Canada. Thanks for sharing from your part of the world.

I loved this sequence of shots. Such variety in the sky.

Rune Eide said...

It can often be really difficult to tell the apart! Especially with snow on the mountain tops, or a glacier.

It is great looking at spring skies when we are just hitting winter. Very uplifting and great shots :)

I love them all but I was really struck by the lone bird in the first one

Your bountiful mountains of sky images are wondrous, Gemma. Best of all they are full of sun, spring and promise. Thank you and happy sky watching!
