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)

The first pic looks quite gloomy, but the people still cheerful.
The second one seems to have the perfect weather for a good day at the market :)

I like the way the descent leads to an ascent. So wise and necessary!

a fun take on the prompt -- in this case, what goes down must come up!

I enjoyed the photos of the market place and your description of the time.

Hi Gemma!
I know that descent...it's like a meditation. Thanks for the smiles of recognition and 'ah'!

What did you come up with? the pictures alone or a market trinket too?
