Good Sunday Morning to ya from the land down under! As my panoramic view shows, we are of to a stellar Sunday - my last day here in Australia. Took the panoramic shot since there was a hot air balloon floating about - just looks like a spec in the photo (unless you blow it up).
Yesterday we went exploring on an island close to Brisbane and came home disappointed that we could not really go exploring and off roading in our 4 wheel drive car, because we did not have the proper permit - available only online.
Did get to the side showing the mainland and saw the Glass House Mountains all neatly lined up in a row for us to take photographs of. Problem was they were too far away and the photo was hazy and indistinct so I posterized it - you can at least see the shape of the mountains this way:

Why are they called the Glass House Mountains? Very exotic.
LOVE the outline of those mountains! It is downright majestic! Good job finding a way to capture what you could!
They were named by James Cook - in Wiki it states: "They were so called as the shape of the mountains reminded him of the huge glass furnaces (glasshouses) back in his native Yorkshire".
In my other post about the mountains I mention there was a guy there that said they reminded him of the glass furnaces in his hometown - but I didn't go on to mention that they called the factory glass furnaces 'glasshouses'.
