The Enchantments, Washington This is a close up view of the water spilling from Perfection Lake into Snow Creek before it flows on into tiny Sprite Lake. The water levels were a bit low, but that left the colorful rock and moss exposed.
Freycinet National Park, Tasmania The Friendly Beaches on the east coast of Tasmania are a great place to watch the sun rise and start to paint the surface of the water. The name probably comes from the "friendly" early contact here between native people and Europeans.
Pencil Pine Falls, Cradle Mountain National Park, Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area The flow of the falls wasn't impressive, but the combination of the warm-toned sunlight and the cool blue shadows was intriguing. From the opposite side, down at water level, the scene was less interesting. The pencil pine--not actually a pine tree--is native to Tasmania, and has been threatened by bushfires.
