Sunday Sunshine from Sublime Point 4th Dec 2025.

Sublime point is on the Illawarra Escarpment. Overlooking the Blue Mountains and a small section of the coast of New South Wales.

The views are breathtaking and awe inspiring.

But my inner word nerd was just as thrilled with the word ‘sublime’ being in general usage.

I love the words sublime, subliminal and sublimate. Liminal also is pretty gorgeous.

They are like triplet children whose characters and behaviours are significantly different despite having the same parents

The family name would be the latin word Limen, meaning threshold.

The only time I was an ‘A’ grade student in Chemistry was when  I knew in an instant what Sublimation was. Not because I loved chemistry at all, but because  I really loved to dance in clubs and pubs and the highlight of the night was when the Dry Ice was used.

I have always been a little shy of using the word sublime in general conversation . I wonder if it is a class thing…

Maybe now I have actually visited a sublime place I should be a little braver.

3 words, roots in the same place, and yet completely different.
