110103_091827_14034 Ghostly Gums

Fairmont Resort, Leura, NSW

Late on the afternoon of our first day, storms set in. The residue of that was mist and fog which covered the area until we left the next morning. I had intended to show off a view across the valley to a sandstone cliff which is quite remarkable when seen in the warm morning light. Instead all we could see was a bank of translucent grey.

On the way back, though, the mist imparted a sense of atmosphere to this stand of gum trees.

There is touch of Celtic mysticism to this image; one would almost expect to see warriors of old emerging on their horses through this scene. The s-curve of the road in the upper central area really draws the eye in effectively to the perspective you have achieved in the image. Lovely work, Alan.
