Sunrise Glow on a Mountain Tarn

Golden light glances sharply across the morning sky to illuminate a crisp mountain tarn. A chilly night for me in the tent, waiting for this spectacle to emerge from the mist.

Bronte Lagoon Selenium

Bronte Lagoon in Tasmania’s highlands holds a special place for me. I have taught fly-fishing here every January for the past 32 years in a row. I know the area well…..it’s landforms, fish habitats and weather systems. I particularly like and teach about, it’s insects, as I teach Entomology to fly fishermen.

This painting is in Hut Bay near where I normally camp. One beautiful colour only……Indigo Blue.

Early morning reflections on a perfectly still lake. Not a hint of a breeze….just the chirping of some nearby parrots and the occasional croak of a lonely frog !
