    The Blue Mountains

    First view of Jamison Valley & the Blue Mountains, at dusk, living up to their name. The colour comes from U/V radiation scattering particles in the atmosphere and creating a blueish colour to distant objects. Actually this is common to any mountains and valleys but it is particularly pronounced here, thanks to terpenoids, organic chemicals that derive from conifer trees.
