Sydney is beautiful, it's true. But when I stood on our verandah after coming home I was struck once again how magical Norfolk is. Such a contrast from the congested maze of buildings, roads, railway lines, street lights, factories and concrete (SO much concrete) that makes up suburban sprawl....the view here is raw, untouched and invigorating. A friendly luminous green sea of rolling hills melts into the distant skyline in every direction. Norfolk pines stand straight and proud creating an impressive silhouette against the setting sun. The sky is clean, bright and vast. Scanning the panorama, you can't help but feel lighter and free. There's less distraction here. It's peaceful.

It's good to get away...at times a change of perspective is healthy and necessary. Coming back reminds me there's no place like home. And certainly there's no place on Earth like Norfolk Island!
I love it here.

welcome home Shell. there is nothing like heading to the big smoke to shake off any island fever and to gain a bit of perspective to see where the heart lies. looking forward to shooting with you somewhere, somehow.
WE WILL! SOON!!!!! We should do a sunrise somewhere!? I can smell the school holidays xx
Wow, those pines. It really looks like such a beautiful place to live xo
Funny, I felt just the same way leaving a beautiful island yesterday (Bruny Island, TAS) and returning home to Sydney! There really is no place like home! Yours does seem particularly beautiful, by the way! Have just found your blog today via Ivy Nest, and am loving it.
Nice to "meet you" Fiona! I've never been to Tassie...but it's on my list - I've always wanted to go there. Yes, Norfolk is very beautiful.
