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)

Small Reflections

Weekend Reflections #10

Unsettled waters
Fallen castles in the sands
Footprints fade in time
~
When business rules
When a week seems a lifetime
Keep reflections small

Small reflection by a large large sea... :-) How neat!

Seagulls are such clean birds. Getting two for the price of one each time in your photograph is just priceless.

I also appreciate your text underneath. Reflective words.

Lovely photo. I like the contrast between the two waters -- the sheltered still water and the incoming waves.
