The only view to Three Sisters available that day. The rock was absolutely invisible from any other lookout:

Your thoughts?

very nice mikhail... Not sure why, but I like #3 the best - probably the unusual composition - but it works...

You can almost feel the mist condensing on the lens... :-)
Cheers, John

Very nice pics, Mikhail. I personally like numbers 3 and 5. Very moody, crisp shots. I spent much of my spare time during my childhood/teens walking the tracks of the Blue Mountains and seeing your pics makes me feel like I'm there. Well done!

Well done Mikhail!
Reminds me of my days trekking the razorback in the Victorian Alps. The gum trees take on an a maddening beauty in the mist that used to intoxicate me.

Those latest shots are excellent Mikhail and I would imagine they convey very much how it was at the time.

Thanks everyone!

It was really great time and if you aren't afraid to get wet, I'd recommend to visit Blue Mountains in bad weather :) There are disadvantages but plenty benefits and advantages as well as photographic opportunities :) :) :)
