Re: NSW on Fire

Wow. Yes that's looking south East over Jamison Valley from Echo Point, Katoomba. Just over that far mountain range, Sydney stretches for 70 kilometres north to south. That is the ruined castle fire according to the fire map. And that's one of the smaller ones! The main fire inland from where we are is the mega blaze where several fires have joined up. THat is now the size of greater metropolitan Sydney. Getting to teeth grinding stage unfortunately. Below is the spot where that fire is. The Ruined Castle Rock.

Only if Sydney has suddenly been moved to the south and west of the Blue Mountains.

The Three Sisters are clearly to the left of the picture so it was taken from Echo Point with Mount Solitary centre of the photo. That's the Ruined Castle fire south of Katoomba.

Re: NSW on Fire

Great photo, Artangel. Isn't it incredible that something so savage and dangerous as a Bush Fire could result in such lovely pictures?
