Can’t quite remember where this gum tree was. Nice conditions though - slightly cloudy so not extreme contrast in the middle of the day. There were quite a few angles on this but I think this angle showed the most. Below, a country shack from the same trip both BxW and colour for comparison. Probably close to the Victorian border.
Rare sight
I’ve only seen this northern end of Bronte beach like this once. Eaten away by storm surf, a shallow waterfall appeared changing the entire look of this section. The B&W shows up the textures and details nicely.

Death of a blast furnace
Not sure whether the local council has removed the remains. This was one of the blast furnaces that had full production in the early 1900s. Shortly after these photos were taken, the whole area was fenced off with no close access. As you can see it has been reclaimed by nature to a large extent, making for interesting subject matter. The last photo is a reverse shot of the final slag pulled from the furnace. The blast furnace is located adjacent to the town of Lithgow, NSW.
Wynne's Rocks
An area in the Blue Mountains (Mt Wilson). Always interesting in the mist with it’s mixture of gum trees and mossy rocks. Photo taken around 2019.
Variations
Blue Mountains rainforest area. Small movements can make a difference.
