Ghost Trees

Experimentation with Fractalius, a Photoshop Plugin. This application can create some amazing surreal images.

This image is of a eucalyptus forest in the Blue Mountains, Australia. The trees, affectionately referred to as "gum trees" have a white bark and can provide a ghostly appearance anyways (in fact, there is a tree called Ghost Gum). Using this plugin, that effect is accentuated.

Hope you like it.

Sydney Australia

One of my most favorite places in the whole world! I lived there for about 15 years, a beautiful and vibrant city.
This view is from Macquaries Chair looking over to the Royal Botanic Gardens and the Sydney Central Business District. You can see Sydney Tower (aka Centrepoint Tower) on the left. There is a revolving restaurant at the top with, of course, magnificent views of the greater Sydney area.

Cockatoo Island detail

Cockatoo Island lies in the middle of the beautiful Sydney harbor (the Aussies write harbour), Australia. The island used to be a shipyard and the first of its two dry docks was built by convicts and was completed in 1857.

The island’s maritime industrial activity ceased in 1992. In 2005, the island was opened to the public and you can now take a ferry ride and wonder around the island. The island offers some stunning views of the Sydney harbor.
