Gidday Lisa,
What a legend and what a view. That blue hour sky is stunning and the golden light on the sisters is perfect. Is this a setting sun behind you or are these lit artificially? It's a fantastic result, and it h that air of mystery that lends itself perfectly to the tale in your note. Always great to see you post, I hope all is well :)
Cheers from a wet, very wet ireland. Summer seems to have forgotten Ireland this year.

Ciao Lisuccia
fantastico questo cuneo rosato che entra nel blu.
La leggenda delle tre sorelle θ molto curiosa, ma dovrebbe insegnare che θ pericoloso dare certi poteri ad un uomo solo.
Saluti
Carlo

Ciao Lisa,
It's like looking into the Pit of Hell! Precisely exposed and with superb colour contrasts and wonderful textural detail.

Hello Lisa

Your sentiment about no trip to Sydney being complete without a visit to the Blue Mountains really rang bells with me. Both when we were living in Oz and when we visited last, we made that pilgrimage: several times when we lived in Newcastle. We used the "back passage" (!) across Wiseman's Ferry and up the Bells Line of Road. And of course I took this photograph, floodlit just like yours! It's the contrast between the orange floodlit rocks and the deep blue of the surrounding Jamison Valley that I like in this image. Good, and for me, nostalgic stuff.

Regards

Will

Hello Lisa,
The light that brings out the rocky spurs in this landscape in darkness is something surreal. The geology is spectacular and reminds me some gorges in the south of France.
Regards,
Delphine

Hi Lisa,

A good sharp night shot of the famous landmark. There is just enough ambient light to make out the cliffs in the background. I bet it was cold there.

Concerning the origin of the name, it has nothing to do with Mie scattering by eucalyptus oil droplets. I don't know who invented this fairy tale but it has taken root in the tourist literature like some noxious weed. The mountains were named by the first settlers in Sydney before anyone had actually been to the mountains. They looked blue from Sydney because they are 70 kilometres away. Any mountain range will look blue from that distance no matter where it is, and no matter what vegetation it has, because water vapour and dust in the atmosphere make distant things look blue. Most photographers are well aware of this effect. Look at your photos from other parts of the world and you will convince yourself that distant mountains look the same shade of blue everywhere - eucalyptus oil is not necessary. I'll get off my soap box now.
