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)

Wonderful photo Gemma...as the snow is falling outside, it is good to remember that summer is happening somewhere and will return here again in a few months:)

Önskar att jag var där nu.Fast då i de naturliga färgerna.Här är det mycket svart och vitt ute.Här får jag njuta av musiken inomhus.Ha de gott. Anita
