Southern Highlands Phone Cases - iPhone and Android

Looking at this amazing view near Belmore Falls in the Southern Highlands made me appreciate how lucky we are in Oz to have such beautiful scenery. This is a 3 vertical photo stitch of photos taken from the lookout. I tried a 2 horizontal photo stitch but preferred this one. Lots of sunshine but few dark shadows .. perfect !! This is in the Morton National Park in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia. Photographed with a Canon 400D. *Feature* Cover Shot Photography, January 2016.

A misty mountain hop, skip & jump through Kangaroo Valley a few years ago revealed this gem of a waterfall flowing down the mountain. Being my first trip to the Kangaroo Valley, I didn't realize at the time that this wasn't a permanent feature, but a flow created by a heavy downpour. Subsequent trips were missing this great sight. Fitzroy Falls was impossible to see because of the rain & blowing mist, so I had to go back another day for that beautiful view. I needed the telephoto lens to capture this, which explains the slight fuzziness. I like the misty cloud .. bottom right.

The majestic Belmore Falls in the Morton National Park near Robertson in the Southern Highlands of NSW, Australia. This lookout is a short walk on the track from the carpark. Located on the Barrengarry Creek, the two falls measure almost 100 metres as the waters tumble into the valley below. Photographed with a Canon 400D with telephoto lens.

For the entire afternoon I spent in Landmannalaugar (in Iceland's Highlands), I kept looking around thinking how the landscape couldn't possibly be real. The rhyolite mountains shifted from browns to reds to greens and back again, and seemed to change with every turn of the head. It really did feel like I was in an impressionist painting; I wonder if the two hikers in this shot felt the same?

Fluffy Icelandic sheep dining on the grass of Landmannalaugar in Iceland's highlands. This place truly has to be seen to be believed -- the colours of the rhyolite mountains are truly otherworldly!

Photographed with a Canon 400D in the Kangaroo Valley in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia. Tone mapped in Photomatix. Hampden Bridge is a suspension bridge across the Kangaroo River, located in the town of Kangaroo Valley, New South Wales, Australia. It is named after Lord Hampden, Governor of New South Wales from 1895 to 1899. Hampton Bridge was designed by Ernest Macartney de Burgh, the colony's Assistant Engineer for Bridges, to replace the decaying timber truss bridge which originally spanned the Kangaroo River. Construction began in 1895 and the bridge was opened on the 19 May 1898, just six days before floods washed the old bridge away. A well-known local tourist attraction, Hampden Bridge features four...

The beautiful Carrington Falls in the Budderoo National Park, New South Wales, Australia. I love the rocks near the top of these falls & the beauty of the valley downstream from here.

The long view of the beautiful Fitzroy Falls in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia. You can gauge the height of this waterfall by looking at the people on the lookout platform in the top left hand corner. This is the lookout where I took the long drop shot that appears on the right of this page. This is in the Moreton National Park in Australia. Canon 400D, ISO400, F80, 1/40 sec. HDR image. Reworked in Photomatix. *Feature* Theme Thursday, Feature Friday, Aug 2011.

I chose this unusual composition to focus on the beautiful colours near the base of the first drop of Belmore Falls. The first drop is huge & then it falls one more time into the valley below.

I got as much of Fitzroy Falls in this shot as the high railing at the lookout would allow. It is a two photo stitch. I love the stunning sandstone cliffs here contrasting with the ever lush Kangaroo Valley. This is the Kangaroo Valley in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia. It is part of the Moreton National Park. Shot with a Canon 400D, ISO 100, F22, 0.2 seconds. *Features* Scenery, March 2011. Islands of the World, April 2011.

I did a little trip to the Southern Highlands of New South Wales (Australia) & discovered all these amazing old buildings & country churches in Bowral & Berrima. This is the Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Berrima. Designed by Edmund Blacket in a simple Gothic Revival Style, the church is built from stone quarried directly behind it. The stained glass windows came from a church in Cornwall in England and are thought to date to the 15th Century. It was consecrated in 1849. The interior is especially fine with excellent stained flass, wooden fittings, and old brass oil lamps converted to electricity. *Feature* Canon DSLR, Aug 2016.
