A Couple of Tra La Las

Finally my pictures from my photo shoot!!

Just a few to give you the jist :)

Palm Beach on the way up and from the top!

They were doing some sky writing that we could see from the park where we were and it started out saying “Are you going 2….” and I thought it might be a wedding proposal (because I´m hopelessly romantic) but instead it ended up saying “Are you going 2 heaven? How? Trust Christ”… I couldn´t believe it. I didn´t think it was even allowed to put something so religious out there for everyone to see. And by this time the sun was setting so everyone was outside looking toward the sky for the fireworks and that is the message they saw. I wonder which organization was paying to have them write that up there..

We had SO much food and of course a lot of alcohol as well. It WAS New Years Eve after all. The unfortunate thing was that, even though I had managed to take work off that night from the bar, we were having an event the next day and I had to work the event. I may or may not have had a large hangover :/ not too fun.

NYE

We spent New Years Eve in the sunshine in a park in Vaucluse, which is the part of Sydney where Leonardo DiCaprio has a house. We spent the entire day and night there and it had a great view of the city and the harbor bridge. Unfortunately for me, i must not have charged my camera batteries long enough because my camera shut off midway through the first fireworks show :( Annoying, right? You live and you learn though.

And a few more “Caroline” photos.

I loved the symmetry of the stone wall with the benches. It was right at a lookout point so everyone is facing the mountains, taking pictures and I have my back to the mountains, taking a picture of a wall.

Also, I love the trees here in Australia. They are incredible!

“The Blue Mountains are so named because, from Sydney, they look blue. They are clad in vast forests of eucalypts (commonly called gum trees), which in the hot sun discharge a fine mist of eucalyptus oil from their leaves. The mist refracts light, which makes the haze look blue at a distance.” source

Glamor shots!

These are the things that I take pictures of while everyone else is taking pictures of the mountains.

Typical Caroline :)

The climb.

The descent.
