Australia

This image of Australia evokes many emotions for me. I was originally supposed to go abroad to Australia in the second semester of my Junior year, but it did not for a variety of reasons. I had had this image stored as my desktop image for a very long time because it manifested an extraordinary possible and opportunity to me. Having read about Australia’s offerings from its rich animal life to beautiful scenery including its beaches I associate all of these qualities with this image.

The water in this picture is set with a beautiful light that makes it look most serene and soothing. Water has presented a sense of calm and relaxation to me since I was young as I have always treasured beaches more than any other place. Seeing the water in this picture, even with the bridges in the background and the well-known sculpture I still associate the water with beaches since I have done so much research including reading and looking over many pictures of the beaches of Australia.

Having not been to Australia and appreciating its allure so much from every picture I see of it, especially this one, my inspiration is to one day make it there, whether it be for a vacation or to live there for a certain amount of time. Therefore, this picture is especially important to me because it embodies the hope and possibility that Australia is there and will hopefully still be there in the same beauty it is in today when I eventually make my way there.
