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)

Night ripples of frail pastels
Shy pale orb of light

You have such a mystical way with words dear friend, your photos just pull the words right into our line of thought, I just love reading your magic...

The moon was full the other night on our way home from the shop, a sultry summer's eve, you just want it to last forever, however our mornings are cool now, you can tell that fall is close...so I enjoyed the hour and a half commute home with the truck windows wide open, taking in all the country summer air I could, it smelled so damp and green and cool, as the day was in the upper 80's...it put me in a summer's trance, so the drive was shortened by the pleasure of the experience...summer's end...but not too quick...

Have a wonderful day...see ya at SSS sweet friend!

I LOVE these Gemma!
I've often seen like images in the sky and not been able to capture them. You've done a wonderful job of capturing this mysterious spot in the night sky.

My post is here: Carletta’s Captures.
