This morning saw us (Tina & I) in Narooma for yet another medical consultation with her colonoscopy specialist. It looks as though Tina will be operated on, to remove a benign growth in her colon which bares down on her bladder causing a lot of distress, We see her GP tomorrow to finalise the details.

I did some more work on images this afternoon to go onto the Zenfolio site. This is one I've just uploaded which was taken several years ago out at Hill End, the old gold mining town between Mudgee & Bathurst to the west of Sydney on the far side of the Blue Mountains.

This old tree is just hanging in, on the edge of "The Gully" dug out by the gold miners many years ago. below is a conventional shot of the area:

This visit to Hill End came through the Bermagui Probus club winery tour of the Mudgee wineries. It would be very easy to spend more time photographing in this area under various weather conditions, though I imagine that the last week would have been a bit challenging if only getting access on the wet dirt roads.

You'll see a sepia rendition of the tree shot in the artwork folder.
