Mt Murchison

The last of my Tasmanian adventures before heading to Europe for four months! An amazing day up Mt Murchison, with a bit of sun, a bit of snow and a couple of rainbows :D

Shot on a GH2, Lumix 7-14mm, Voigtlander Nokton 25mm with a B+W C-Pol filter and an m.ZD 45mm

Nice shots Nick, you got much nicer weather than we did a few weeks back! Ah well, just means we'll have to go back and do it again another time I guess :P

Enjoy your time in Europe! Where you headed?

Yeah, the upper parts reminded me a lot of the Southern Traverse section of the Eastern Arthurs... It packs a hell of a punch for a four hour walk!

Thanks! Bit of everywhere really - Finland, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain and Italy. I'm doing walks in northern Finland, the Alps, the Pyrenees, a bit of the Camino de Santiago and possibly the Dolomites (time permitting...)
