Today Phil & Maureen Breckell took me and my wife, (www.mycruisestories.com) on a photo safari to the Blue Mountains. The weather had an eerie fog with threatening black clouds and occasional blue splotches of sky mixed in for a unique opportunity for us to create some “artsy” images. Here’s a slide show of a few of my favorites. We also visited several lookouts near Katoomba and ventured over the top of the hills toward Lithgow, where we spotted four wild emu.
