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)

Water from a Distance


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Long distance shot of Dromana pier reaching out into Port Phillip Bay. (I tried to work around the wires and balance them in!)
This was taken from my summery back verandah early this morning.

Watery Wednesday #66

Distant blue coolness
Summer dreaming by the bay
Holiday heaven

To get around the wires you will just need to get a bigger zoom :-)

What a wonderful view to have from your back porch! Thanks for sharing it with us (even if you are a tease for showing off to us snow-bound folk.) :)

Have a wonderful day!
