Country born & bred but now located in Sydney, Australia.
I’m fascinated by the beauty of nature & in particular Australian native flowers & landscapes. I also love colour & anything unusual.
The Blue Mountains are my favourite spot at the moment.

Well done! perfect light.
Wonderful capture! :D
Thank you. I saw a few photos of this on the net & wanted to see it for myself.

Great choice of light time the detail of colour you have shown brings it out well…check my B/W of this
Thanks again. Sunset is definitely my preferred time for landscapes with its soft light. The Warrumbungles, for instance, became a totally different place at sunset.

Great shot Michael. I looked it up and Hill End seems to be a historic place?

Nice shot. The title is spot on. This building would have to be the recognisable of all in Hill End.
Thank you. I love that place.
