Lindisfarne Bay is a suburban bay just north-east of Hobart and about 5 minutes from where I live. I had been meaning for some time to spend an evening attempting to get some photos of the run-down boat jetties found around the bay, but at this time of the year the light is coming from the wrong angle.
Here’s a photo of one of the jetties that appeared to come out ok.

The summit of Mount Wellington has the fantastic mix of alpine scrub and many vivid colours. However in winter, a lot of the colour is hidden by deep snowdrifts. Somehow a friend of mind convinced me that I wanted to go up the Mountain, in the snow, at 6am in the morning to take photos.
Of the photos I took, this was the one I liked the most. with a bit of a crop, and some adjustments, I feel this really did catch the mood of the morning.

Mount Dawson
Something a little different today. This is a photo of Mount Dawson in south-west Tasmania, as seen while driving along the lower Florentine forestry roads. I have posted this because it’s a monochrome, and works as a monochrome. I particularly like the textures in the sky. Monochrome photography is a great way to set a mood for an image.

Though not strictly the last stop on the Maydena line, the Westerway station is one of last intact railway stations on this line. The rail line, known as the great western was built in the early 1900s to assist with mining & forestry operations in the area, with plans to extend the railhead as far as Macquarie Harbour. However with modern transport demand fell away for the rail service and eventually the line was closed past New Norfolk in 1995. It is hoped that one day a steam locomotives that were popular will travel this line once more to Mt Field.
