Sitting on the deck of my cottage in the Hunter Valley on New Years Eve I was stunned by how absolute the darkness was surrounding us. It was a stark contrast to how Sydney lights up on this special night. It was so dark that all I could see was the white trunks for the eucalypt trees no more than 10m from where I was sitting. As as is usual inspiration hits at the most unlikely times and sitting there at 10:30 on New Years Eve with red wine in hand I just simply had to try to take some photos of the darkness and the creepy ghost trees!
