Blue Mountains, Australia, 2004

I had driven for miles and miles into and around the Blue Mountains, and the countryside was all looking about the same. Worse, it wasn't much different from a lot of the States. I knew I had to slap myself in the face, figuratively at least. So I made a sharp turn into the first turnoff that didn't seem to be someone's driveway. A sign even said "Mt Andy picnic area," or something like that. I stopped at a space large enough to turn the car around, and got out and walked around and took these pictures. I needed that.
