WOW, Margaret - what a FABULOUS capture this is of the iconic Aussie sisters!! I agree with Paul - I haven't seen them framed and captured like this before!! A V-E-R-Y nicely seen AND taken image!! I, too, LOVE the Blue Mountains!! :o)

Phil and I trust that both you and Paul are well, as are we!! We trust you're enjoying the spot of finer weather we're having at the moment, too!! I know we are!! ;o) It's great to see so much more water in the dams, though, isn't it?!! :o) #5501362

Thank you for your lovely response,with all the wet weather we have been having ,you usually cant see the sisters or the valley for fog and mist,so with the sun coming out so did all the tourist buses but it was great to see them admiring our attractions. #5501380
