Lonely Mail, 35
Spotted while walking around my village. Looks like the junk mailer got here before me.
Fog in the Mountains
An uncharacteristic drop in temperature and overnight rain transformed the endless vista of the mountains into an intimate landscape with pockets of life rising up from the valley floor.
Liffey Falls, Tasmania
We've had a welcome break for a week, and visited friends in Tasmania. We did some touring of the national parks around Cradle Mountain, and made our way to Liffey Falls, where we went for a hike through the rain forest. It's a beautiful place, with lots of shade beneath the trees, and the ground is easy going.The Liffey Falls themselves are a series of falls, and the track takes you down them, with great lookouts along the way. At the bottom the trees overhang the edges, creating patterns of light that dance on the water.I took this with my Fuji Film X-E1 and 14mm lens, along with a B+W 10 stop filter, on a tripod, to get the long exposure. The light weight of the Fuji Film gear, along with a carbon fibre tripod makes a big difference in the "carryability" of my setup - especially welcome on the upward climb!
The Pineapple
My previous post mentioned The Pineapple, an eccentric example of architecture commissioned by Lord Dunmore. It's worth visiting if you are ever in the area (Falkirk, Scotland), and we visited often when we lived in the area - it's a peaceful place and has a large walled garden, which is perfect for a picnic.
