Gondwana Dreaming

Today we have been exploring the theme of an ancient temperate rainforest in Tasmania that scientists can link directly to the ancient supercontinent of Gondwana (550-180 million years ago). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gondwana

 

This is a truly primordial environment, and when I came across this dark ferny grotto in the forest of the Lake St Clair National Park, it was like being transported back long before humans ever walked the earth. It looks so ancient one would not be surprised to see a little dinosaur species run out from under the cover of those ferns.

 

That is my "Gondwana Dreaming" for the day. And so with a little tweak of processing, I dedicate this piece of photo art to an ancient world that eventually became our home too. May we forever be reminded that like any home we need to take great care to conserve it.
