Description
BLUE MOUNTAINS is a digital photograph by Carla Parris.
We visited the Blue Mountains of Australia as a day trip out of Sydney. They were spectacular!
Their blue haze comes from the abundance of bluish green eucalyptus tree leaves.
These "mountains" are actually not technically mountains, but rather the plateaus of deep canyons cut by the flow of rivers.
Because of their heavy vegetation, these geological wonders were described by our local guide as "the Grand Canyon with clothes on."
This broad landscape image features the light colored rocky lookout point in the foreground, with successive layers of lush vegetation which start with a deep forest green and progress to a lighter blue green as they recede into the distance.
Farthest away, the sides of a surrounding canyon can be seen, with trees and brush on top, and beyond that, a beautiful sky.
The Blue Mountains offer spectacular vistas in a panoramic 360 degree view.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is worth a visit if you ever make it Down Under!
