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)

Slatted sunset light
Like a slice of sweet promise
Tinged with tawny hope

Hello Gemma. Amazing picture you've managed to frame the sunset and horizon with the wood. Nicely done. Your haiku is perfect.

The sepia gives a subtle and soft look to the picture 'frame' that surrounds the sepia sunset. A nice and artistic (the angular meets the natural)look!

That's pretty in sepia! I would like to see it in color too ... but I bet it looks cluttered in color - I think sepia is good for it!
