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)

Light and Colour


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A late summer view of Dromana coastal walk, beach and pier, Mornington Peninsula
Mount Martha is in the distance.

Theme Thursday ~ Light

So strange

In summer there can be clouds in the sky
But if they are soft and white and fluffy
We say that it is still a bright summer's day

The clouds look warm
Drifting in warm light

And yet
White clouds on a winter's day
Seem so different
Still soft and white and fluffy
But we say it is a dull winter's day

The clouds look cold
Drifting in cold light

Does that mean that air temperature
Lights colour and
Colours colour?

So strange

Safety Beach is the next beach after Dromana and closer to Mount Martha.
