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)

Your haiku is very fitting to your photo. I think it would be cool to go sailing sometime. Think of all the exotic places one could see.

I love this window and the haiku. I live in a beautiful Regency seaside town on the South coast of England and our home is just 4 minues walk from the sea. So Ship and boat type windows really appeal to me. There are many around here and I have taken photos of lots of them - so thank you for reminding me - I shall do a future "window views" post on them!

I like how you weave visions and words together. I wish I would go near this window every day on my way to a beach:) Whoever built it put effort in it - thank you for bringing it to us!
