Mt Maroon to Mt May, Canon A1, Sigma 28mm f/2.8 on Kodak bwXX.
Mt Cordeaux, Sunrise Hike.
Mt Cordeaux, with an accessible carpark just off the Cunningham Highway, approx. 1.5 hrs SW of Brisbane. With a choice of Mt Cordeaux or Mt Mitchell (post coming soon from a separate hike). Early rise, 3am. Sunny day and windy. Hiking with a friend. 5am start, perfect for a sunrise. A bit of slushy mud, but fairly easy going. From the carpark to the peak and across to Bare Rock a return journey of little less than 14kms.
As we ascended the wind was pressing, clouds rolling in. Watching them beneath us was quite a surreal experience, with the odd vista of the valley and rising sun peaking through.

A Trip to Svartisen Glacier, Norway.
An earlyish morning start, on the bus to the boat. The boat starts at Svartiskiosken, Råna, Norway. Then about 1 hour up river to another spot, where a 3km hike over rocky terrain takes you to the glacier.
The mighty vessel.
Early morning fog.
Breath-taking views.
Ice cave.
Side view.
Norway’s second largest glacier, roughly a 3km hike from where we were dropped off from the boat. Covering a span of approximately 370 square km. I hope it sticks around for a while, long enough for a few more generations to experience this natural very old beauty.
