This shot was taken on Australia Day 2004. My GG Grandfather was shipped to this spot as a convict around 1807, and it was a vastly different landscape then!

A little slow to load, but a very nice shot.
Speaking of frames, what software did you use to get this one? I've been trying a few lately but I haven't found anything great yet.

Ps elements 2, foreground colour effect eg click Window - Effects - Frames - Foreground colour. You will have to select which colour you want to use. Remember also the "X" key switches from foreground colour to background and vice versa.

Great shot ozimax - did you GG Grandfather come over on the ferry from Manly? :lol:

Nope, he came on the good ship HMS ? from the old bailey...however, funny you should start me on the history bit, he was incarcerated for about 7 years, got his freedom, worked for Cox the road builder, and was, tradition says, the first man to drive a team of horses over the Blue mountains and on to the Bathurst Plains, where he (and eventually the Young family) settled freely.

Great photo.
I really like the border too, quite bold but it works really well.
Good shot.
