Northern view by peterdegraaff

Northern view

...from Saddleback Mountain where the escarpment meets the sea near Kiama (best magnified).

In the distance on the left is Jamberoo Mountain/Knights Hill (1600 ft) which descends into the Stoney Range, and ends at Bass Point which juts into the Tasman Sea. Shellharbour sits on the bay directly above Bass Point. Further to the north above this is Lake Illawarra and the old smokestack of the former copper smelter at Port Kembla (which is just visible if you look closely). The closest Point is near Bombo and the Boneyard. Directly beneath Saddleback Mountain the farm lands descend into the Jamberoo Valley.

Gorgeous view! Those rolling hills remind me a little of the area where I live, but we don't have the sea in the distance... :)

Fantastic use of the clouds! I was reading an article the other day all about clouds and how they can make or break your shot, you seem to have an excellent grasp of how to make the clouds work for you.
