Yes, I agree with you that being born in Australia was a good option, also considering today's world.
As far as photographs are concerned, I am certainly not an expert, but I must confess that I really like these shots of yours; it is probably due to the fact that I too am a nature lover and, moreover, having grown up in a place by the sea, I really appreciate the subjects of the photos ... I love the beach and it gives me a sense of peace, especially the pristine ones where maybe you you find yourself alone, You and the sea.
Great thoughts and great reflections are born by chatting with the sea.
