St.Gwinear

John Dekker

St.Gwinear

This beautiful stream and the gorgeous location epitomises the Australian rainforest. High up upon Mt. St. Gwinear in Victoria’s Baw Baw National Park, the dense foliage, the deep green mosses, the almost impenatrable forest floor, and within it, this swiftly flowing clear, cold water cascading so beautifully down the mountain.

So far removed, and wonderfully so, from the stresses and pressures of my office. Sigh!

Taken with a Canon 400D, with a Sigma 10-20mm ultra wide lens at 10mm, 4 second exposure, ISO 100 at f/13.

    really lovely John.
    the smoothness and freshness of the water is a key highlight for me, as well as the leading line the fallen tree trunk creates.
    ...and yes, aren’t these place so far removed from the office.
