Planet Lockley

Lockleys Pylon

Embrace the Haze.

Same Grose Valley scene two days apart.

Shortridge.

Its not short.. it is a ridge tho and it is brutal going down, less brutal going up. Whilst a very spectacular part of the walk it was made a little less enjoyable by the 34 degree heat 🙂

Here is a diptych of the ridge to give some perspective, the shot on the left is about a 1/3rd of the way up the ridge – I called this part the slow burn 🙂 The picture on the right is about 10 minutes from the top, which is via a channel/slot between some peaks.

The most daunting part of this part is the ability to see the path and knowing what is in store, the path way down the bottom a pencil thin line snaking over the ridge down to the river, which was certainly a welcome relief after many stops to rest the poor knees and thigh muscles.

Mount Banks.

Some bushwalkers enjoying the view.

Fortress Creek.

The exit.

Apparently this is where everyone goes now 🙂

Lush Little Waterfall Ferns.

no guesses for where.. its the ‘Fern’ Bower walk 🙂

Look ma.. its a light tree with hands with the Aurora in the background.

I think sometimes that Rodney Campbell and I should probably not be let out at night…i never get home at a reasonable hour 🙂

Aurora Australis

A few from Cape Banks in Sydney

Aurora Australis
Cape Banks – Sydney

Nice beams here, only saw them for a fleet moment, pretty amazing for Sydney really.

Little Rainbow.

More Ferns.

my hot tip for the day, don’t search for dirty fern puns, some things cannot be unseen or unread.

No more fern puns.

Broken.

What did the broken tree say to the fern… lifes too short to be shady.

In the Fern Bower Walk

The tranquility of Siloam

The pool of Siloam – the Blue mountains one, not the pool where you get your blindness cured, don’t mix the two up, you’ll probably get pink eye if you stick your eye in here, especially with all that rain and runoff.

See the little trickle of water on the left behind the raging waterfall.. thats how it normally looks 🙂

Soggy Sunday

Its a bit wet out there. On a positive note, places which are normally a trickle turn into nice cascades.
