The Three Sisters, an unusual rock formation close to Katoomba, in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales.
This is the name given to three ridges – 'Beinn Fhada', 'Gearr Aonach', and 'Aonach Dubh' – on the 'Bidean nam Bian' mountain, which lies at the southern end of Glencoe.

The Three Sisters are a rock formation in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia. They are close to the town of Katoomba and are one of the Blue Mountains' best known sites, towering above the Jamison Valley. Their names are Meehni (922 m), Wimlah (918 m), and Gunnedoo (906 m).
The commonly told legend of the Three Sisters is that three sisters (Meehni', 'Wimlah' and Gunnedoo') lived in the Jamison Valley as members of the Katoomba tribe). They fell in love with three men from a neighbouring tribe (the Nepean tribe), but marriage was forbidden by tribal law. The brothers were not happy to accept this law and so decided to use force to capture the three sisters. A major tribal battle ensued, and the sisters were turned to stone by an elder to protect them, but he was killed in the fighting and no one else could turn them back. This legend is claimed to be an Indigenous Australian Dreamtime legend.
However, Dr Martin Thomas, in his work "The artificial horizon: imagining the Blue Mountains", clearly shows that the "aboriginal" legend is a fabrication created by a non-Aboriginal local Katoomba, Mel Ward, presumably to add interest to a local landmark. The story originated in the late 1920s or early 1930s and is unknown prior to that date.

I captured an alternate view of the famous Three Sisters rock formation on my hike to Mount Solitary in the Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia.

A new part of Sisters Oregon added this scenic viewpoint along with a rather nice selection of homes. Broken top is on the left behind some trees, then South Sister, Middle Sister (sharp point on top), and North Sister.

Many of you have seen my photos of Nauset Light, the red and white lighthouse, with its alternating red and white beacon. If you've followed some of the posts, you know also that not long ago (1996), it was moved inland 300 feet.
Before today's Nauset Light was positioned on the ever-shrinking shoreline, there used to be three small lighthouses known as the "Three Sisters." They stood close together and each shown a single white light.
They overlooked the bluffs above the waves for many years toward the end of the 19th century and well into the 20th, but the sea eventually overtook them as well. In 1911, Two were sold and one relocated inland. It remained there until 1923 when it was replaced by today's structure.
These photos show the foundation of that "Middle" Sister, 300 feet or more east of today's cliff edge, and maybe 60 feet lower than where it once stood. It's interesting that it remains upright, and is a striking measuring stick for a hundred years of erosion.

Took this back in the fall trying to catch the sunrise on their faces. However, the angle wasn't quite right.
More like an Autumn day rather than Spring. Glorious sunshine today though!
No yorkies on these pics, they're too quick for me, I only ever get a blur!
This trio of medieval guild houses is known as the "Three Sisters". They are now combined to form a hotel.
Well know mountain range named Three Sisters. With my focal length set at 300mm I couldn't get all three in view. These are the two most west of the third. Next photo has the third sister. Located in Central Oregon.
A classically inspired image of the famous Three Sisters at sunrise, the first light on the snowcapped peaks in spring marks the dawn of a new season, highlighted by the glow of the passing moon.

The view of the Three Sisters mountains from this meadow is not particularly colorful in winter, so I went with a black-and-white rendering. Plus that barn gives the scene a rustic feel that complements the monochrome treatment, I think. There are three mountains visible here, but Middle Sister is mostly obscured by North Sister on the right.
