Govetts Leap at the top of the Blue Mountains is a favourite spot of mine. This is a dawn shoot and was blessed some interesting cloud, but also mist in the valley below.

The trail…
A lazy drive through Hartley Vale revealed a couple of photography locations that I hadn’t considered before. On the Great Western Highway, there is Hartley cemetery, and directly opposite is a private property with an impressive. long driveway lined with maples. Then a little further west is the Hartley Historic village. [edit: since this visit…
