A new dawn

Thank you Andrew… it was a magical morning in a magical place… mother nature was showing off… : )

Thanks drec… the mist created a kind of surreal effect really… if you know the area you’d know that you would normally see the other towns of the mountains but here Mt Solitary is truly ‘solitary’... maybe I should have called it that… : )

Wow AngelArtiste… how did you know… I used to meditate there quite often! I didn’t on this occassion.. or at least not in the sense of sitting quietly and doing nothing… but it was extremelly meditative to be caught up in your own little world, truly absorbed in the beauty before you… : )

Thanks Antanas… it’s an amazing place and especially at this time of day.

Hi linaji… thank you for your kind words! It’s really quite a thrill getting feedback from the rb family. Narrowneck is as the name implies… a narrow strip of land jutting out into the valleys of the Blue Mountains (NSW Australia). There’s a fire trail out to the end and along the way… lots of special places where you can leave the track and find your way to the edge of the cliffs to look out across the valley. So essentially I was standing on the edge of a cliff! One of my most favourite places… and perfect for meditation… This is on the eastern side (of course for sunrise) and only Mt Solitary could be seen through the mist… usually you would look back towards the townships of the Blue Mountains. I lived in the mountains for a number of years and never tired of it’s beauty… we live by the sea now… but I don’t go for very long without a visit back there! I’m hooked! There is such a special energy to the place… ah… I’ve probably raved enough… thanks again… : )

Thanks Johnny… if you’re ever in the Blue Mountains make the effort to get out along Narrowneck for dawn… chances are you’ll find it like this!

Wow… thanks Kellea… : )

Wow… thank you! Considering how wonderful your work is I feel very honoured by your comment…. thanks! : )

Thanks John… That’s one of the things I like about Katoomba…it often does feel like you are on top of the world… and on this occasion even more so!!! : )

Thank you Bettina… : )

Thanks Jesper… As you can tell from previous comments the Blue Mountains is pretty close to my heart. It’s always worth the visit!

So glad you like it… thanks… : )

Thank you so much Jenny… : )

Thanks again for your comments Rick… I think this one is still one of my favs… not just because of the image itself but because of the memory and the feeling I have when I remember being there that morning… it was truly a special moment… : )

Thank you very much for your kind comment Paul… : )

Thanks Harry! It was pretty lucky in some ways. I had decided to walk out along Narrowneck to photograph the dawn… problem is finding a suitable vantage point in the dark (I had looked in daylight prior to this, but couldn’t find the spot in the dark!).... and then the light started happening so I just bashed a bit through the bush and found myself here!!! I was also lucky it was a spectacular dawn… !
: )

It sure is! : )
