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)

Frosted Summer


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Cool summer morning clouds at Dromana, Mornington Peninsula. Melbourne in Victoria, Australia is experiencing very cool mornings and evenings.
Summer seems to peek out briefly in the afternoons.
Very strange!

Summer is struggling
Cool wintry winds still linger
Frosty warmth by seas

Very nice. I love how you captured the outline of the giant tree in the foreground. Looks like a Eucalyptus. I hope you get some summery weather soon! Cheers from sunny California.
