Its why they call it the Blue Mountains - A Bush Christmas

Its where I live not to far from Sydney in the Blue Mountains. I got a quick shot just outside the back door the other afternoon. It sort of shows the blue haze that the mountains were named after. It is said to be the eucalyptus oils from the gum trees. I think its time I did some panaramic shots from the back of the house as well. The essence of the bush is hard to catch though.

This beautiful picture, although of a scene in the Southern Hemisphere, to me, is reminiscent of paintings by the old masters, who used just such countryside as a backdrop to their, often biblical figures.
Even though the trees are so different, it has the same feel of a pure, untouched land, and portrays the hazy blue of distance.
Just lovely.

You live in a lovely area. I was to the Blue Mountains (But it was long ago, in 1995) Maybe it´s time for my next visit
