xenithPhotos of mountain from last week.
When I looked at these on a different computer when I first took them, they looked fine. Now on my computer they are much too dark. So some I lightened and some I left as they are. I suspect it's my monitor though (I do play with the settings on it.)
Monday afternoon, from Rosny on the eastern shore. The city and the river are between the black looking hill.
The mountain is, of course, Mt Wellington. There are other mountains around Hobart e.g. Mt Nelson and Mt Direction, even though they look more like hills but they fit the criteria for being a mountain. But the originally named Wellington is a real mountain, with a tree line and rocky summit, and its coat of snow on the coldest days. It sits there, brooding over the city with a very palpable presence. One thing I noticed when I first moved back north was the absence of the watching mountain.
The snow cover on Monday and Tuesday was particularly heavy. Not as heavy as in older photos but heavy for recent times.
Tuesday morning, from the eastern edge of the city centre (the hotel near the city roundabout for those familiar with Hobart).
Back over at Rosny. It was a dismal morning.
Tuesday afternoon, on the Tasman Bridge, going back to the city.
We know where this is, yes?
You can get an idea of how the mountain runs the width of the city. Actually, no you can't. This photo gives a better idea (city centre tucked down on the very right)
Now from the left side of the city centre. The pub on the left
is now on the right. :)
