Cradle Mountain and Dove Lake Boatshed

This view replicates what is probably the most iconic photograph taken in the Cradle Mountain National Park. Everyone who has heard of Cradle Mountain has seen a photo of the famous boatshed alongside Dove Lake with the mountain behind. And almost everyone who visits here has taken a photograph from this spot.

 

But this is the last photograph I will show that can be considered a normal tourist shot. Ideally, this photograph would have been taken in a glorious golden sunset with glass-smooth water (thanks to a long exposure). But as you saw in my photograph yesterday the weather had other ideas, and any use of a tripod was ruled out by the strong winds. And of course the snow storm replaced the sunset. Never mind. You can find plenty of those scenes on the internet anyway.
