Bridge Track, Otway Ranges

Bridge Track, Otway Ranges

Sun light skims tall magestic tree trunks and highlights green leaves on Bridge Track deep in the rain forest of the Otway Ranges.
Not far from here is a bush camp know as Dandos, one of the most delightful places to camp by the river…but not a holiday time, it’s getting too popular!.
Not long after this shot was taken heavy Otway rains and flood picked up the bridge and moved it sidways 1 meter closing the track for some months, it has now been fixed into that new position.
Taken with Fuji S2 Pro

    Excellent composition Joe, a good leading line with the road and I think the exposure is superb as well. Not always easy when sunlight is filtering through the trees.
