The Boat house on the lake at cradle mountain offers a great subject for anyone with a camera, here I have framed it in the gum tree and branch leading across the shed places the subject near the third line for composition purposes.

I will post more shots of Tasmania as time goes by but for now Sylvia and I have taken up the locum of St Christopher's in Blenheim South in New Zealand so you are likely to get some shots from there pretty soon.

The highlands of Tasmania are fascinating, the Western Tiers lead you to a large plateau. The first time we ascended to this part of the island the cloud came down to road level and we could hardly see the road edge so we crept back to lower ground.

Later ,we were able to make it to Cradle Mountain, we were taken on this occasion by some long time friends in Christ who have moved to the island from Western Australia. There we were in snow, the wind was biting and such a change from the warmer valleys.  The picture above shows Cradle Mountain emerging from behind the foreground.

Mystic Tasmania

Sylvia and I have been leading 'share your faith' seminars for St. John’s Launceston and in our time off we have ventured into the beauty spots of this picturesque state.

The shot below was taken from the path that leads to St.  Columba Falls, the highest falls in Tasmania.  To the background of the continuous roar of the falling water this dingle expressed the mystic peace found in the rain forests in this part of the world.
