Hanson's Gold
A hike in the dark is such a normal way to start the day when immersed in landscape photography. This one involved hiking up a steep and rough track, over a ridge line to another glacial valley in the alpine highlands of northwest Tasmania ( that's bottom of the world, turn right). Hunt for a spot, scouted out the day before, and then sit in sweet silence and solitude, as dawn arrives, with it's magical gift of light.
Hanson's Lake, Cradle Mountain National Park, Tasmania.
" It is in the land, I once thought, that one searches out and eventually finds what is beautiful. And an edge of this deep and rarified beauty is the acceptance of complex paradox and the forgiveness of others. It means you will not die alone."
~ Barry Lopez, Arctic Dreams.
