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)

That balance is so difficult, yet so vital.

love your dromana water patterns - we are in the beginning of autumn here

(glad to hear you have taught in far worse schools - greece is renowned for her lack of interest in educating the future generations, and i thought we had bad schools!)

This fulfillment requires a return to the elements, I think. As you've captured in this great collage. Thanks, Gemma.
