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)

There is something wonderful about the swirl of the composition, how the decorated pavement moves into the tree. This looks like a good example of man-made interacting well with nature; everything looks green (as opposed to brown) and the man-made parts look quite stylish.

Gemma, excellent photos and poem to celebrate Pagan Sphinx's new meme! :)

That is such a lovely corner. Sigh.

Thank you for participating. I love what you did with your photograph and the meme title. May I entice you to create one using my photograph, as well? And if so, may I borrow yours (as it is) to have as an option for people to use as a badge? I don't think I know how to add text with my ancient version of photoshop. No pressure or demands. Just if you want to.

Thanks again so much for your support and for your excellent photography. Oh, and I love the poem!
