Reflections in Dove Lake Cradle Mountain by cradlemountain

Spring 2009 / Cradle Mountain, to me, is the ultimate icon for Tasmania. / It is a Gondwanaland dreamtime full of interesting stories of the past. It is surrounded by ancient rainforests that hug the shores of Dove Lake which is situated on the north side of Cradle Mountain. / I have walked around this mountain several times a year for 19 years now and still have not discovered all it’s secrets. / The path, high up the mountain, has rocks with fossils from a time when the mountain was under the sea. It was once under ice and snow until the climate changed, the earth moved north and the tarns were carved out by the moving ice. / The mounds that surround the landscape on the way into Lake Dove are evidence of the melting glacier that dumped rock shingles that have been untouched for thousands of years. / The mounds are like bumps the size of a hills dotting the grassy plains. / I am always looking on the ground, thinking about myself and the mountain, and how I have ended up here loving every moment. Last time I was there, the mayflies came bursting out into the surrounding vegetation, such tiny creatures that will only live for a day. A memory that I always have is of a man on his tummy, looking into a magnifying glass and yelling with delight that he discovered a tiny weeny plant that had flowered on the day we arrived there. He belonged to a Tasmanian Native Plant Group and is passionate about the one day flower as he had been waiting for this moment for years. / The Cradle is a meeting point for the locals, travellers and the ancient spirits of the indigenous people who were often seen 100 years ago sitting on the rock that dominates the left side of the Lake. The last aboriginal lady was seen there sitting on this rock after travelling from the south, and never to be seen again. The sad history of the indigenous people only bring to mind the loss of most of the Tasmanian indigenous knowledge of the plants, animals and there way of life. / This place is secret to me and I will respect the time I am there and will continually learn from its environment. / So sad about climate change as already the tarns are losing water and the rainforest seems to be dieing from heat stress. http://www.apstas.com/gondwanatimeline.htm#GONDWANA
Light up the night! Glowing the balloons! by Linda Jackson

Green river music festival, at Greenfield, Massachusetts. / This fair came into being to increase tourism into Franklin County in the middle of the summer. Featured music artists, craft artisans, puppeteers, and of course the food vendors comprised the festival this year. / The attendees were not shy about getting in on the action! / I spotted Jugglers, acrobats, girls swaying with hulu hoops, even spontaneous music came out. / The morning showers cleared in time for a morning launch, but very overcast skies. The day was bright and sunny, then the clouds started coming back in for the evening launch. / After the flight the evening finished off with a balloon “glow” they count down and light up the night! / Everyone cheers, and no one wants the magic to end. / Wonderful New England Day! / Enjoy!

THE MAKING OF ‘The Drip #2’: / I was driving back home after a day trip into the country and as I neared the turn-off to the dam I realised I had not been there for well over a year. / As the late afternoon light of a winter day was painting everything in gold I was very interested in what it was doing at the dam. / Well now we both know! / Fuji S9600: RAW, Manual settings of f/3.6 @ 1/500sec, Exposure lock, Auto focus, ISO80, Hand held. / Lightroom 2.2 & Photoshop CS3.

Bath House at Waldheim, Cradle Mountain by cradlemountain

10 photographs were taken with a Nikon D40 camera and stitched patiently together in Photoshop, to get this panoramic view of Gustav Weindorfer’s rain-forest bathhouse. / Born in Austria in 1874, Gustav Weindorfer came to Australia in 1900. He met Kate Cowle in Victoria and they both moved to Tasmania where they married in 1906, spending their honeymoon on Mount Roland. They bought a 100 acre farm at Kindred and settled down to farming. In 1909 Weindorfer and Charlie Sutton camped at Dove Lake and on the 4th of January 1910 Gustav, Kate and Ronnie Smith climbed Cradle Mountain. Kate Weindorfer thus became the first white woman to climb Cradle Mountain. According to Ronnie Smith, as they rested on the 1545 meter summit Gustav Weindorfer proclaimed “This must be a national park for the people for all time. It is magnificent, and people must know about it and enjoy it.” Gustav Weindorfer bought land in Cradle Valley in the late summer of 1910. In 1912 he started building his alpine chalet Waldheim, which means “forest home” and received his first guests in late 1912. / Kate Weindorfer died in April 1916 and Gustav Weindorfer died in May 1932, but during his lifetime his vision of a National Park became a reality when in 1922 an area of 158,000 acres from Cradle Mountain to Lake St.Clair was proclaimed a “Scenic Reserve and Wildlife Sanctuary.” / There is a book called ‘Kate Weindorfer’, the women behind the Man, which is fascinating. Sadly, this forest is now endangered due to climate change. / Note: Tasmania is an Island south of Australia.
