Our Mountain

I look up to the mountain
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
who made the heavens and the earth
(Psalm 121:1-2)



Sydney may have its bridge and Melbourne the Yarra, but Hobart has a mountain. Mount Wellington dominates the horizon of Hobart all the way from Glenorchy in the north to Kingston in the south. Sometimes it reminds me of Ayres Rock with its many different colors and shades. Sometimes it is covered in snow, other times bathed in glorious sunshine. Often there is an eerie cloud effect over the mountain. I never grow tired of looking at it each day. I don't think it's ever been the same twice.



This morning I joined Jo again for the early morning walk with the dog. We started this time on the eastern shore almost directly under the bridge and walked around Rosny Point. It was raining lightly as we set off and I nearly left the camera in the car, but at the last moment bought it along. You never know what the morning may do. Hey, we walked for 90 minutes this morning. If this keeps us we will have to start getting up even earlier!
