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)

World of old children...I love that, it makes it possible for us to dream and fantasize forever...to dream of unicorns and faeries and a land that time forgot of old world charm...we're just hopeless romantics you and I! I can't imagine a day without dreamtime, what's the point...we have plenty of time to do it too, if only one day, it was worth the journey!

Have a great week next week friend!

Hey Harriet said...

Wow that's really cool because the shadow on the left (left when looking at the pic) looks like a border collie dog. And it appears that the shadow is cast from the wings of the unicorn rather than the head. I could be wrong, but just thought that was neat! Have a great week Gemma :)

That's a dramatic shadow. I like the way the vase is in there in shadow only.
