During a period of wet weather where I was confined indoors, I completed a project on the Grose Valley. This is one of my favourite places in the Greater Blue Mountains. It is a place I have photographed many times. So I hunted through my photo library and compiled a selection taken in the Grose Valley into a 4K resolution slide show. The completed project is now available for viewing on YouTube.
The video slide show features the massive sandstone cliffs that flank the upper part of the valley and the waterfalls around its rim. Some of the plants, animals and fungi that can be found are shown. Blue Gum Forest and the Grose River are featured.
The Grose Valley lies between the Great Western Highway and the Bell Road. Its wilderness area is much smaller than those to the south and north in the Blue Mountains, but is still grand and impressive. It is a place that should be cherished. As I was completing the project, I was filled with sadness. What I have recorded in the photos may never be the same again, as a result of the terrible bushfires last summer, when much of the area was burnt out.
Like my previous slide show videos of this form, it is best viewed at the full 4K resolution. This can be achieved on a modern ultra high definition TV or on a 4K resolution computer monitor. If viewing on a Macintosh, use the Chrome browser rather than Safari to watch the 4K stream.
