There’s an odour in the air. A not unpleasant fragrance of rainforest. It feels like you’re walking through it, like it’s a wall or something. After days on the high rolling plains of New England, the rain forest is as a breath of fresh air in more ways than one. The tall box woods andContinue reading “RAIN FOREST DREAMING”

DEAD SHEEP FALLS
It permeated everything. Seemed like no matter where you were it wouldn’t leave you. It almost made one’s eyes water, so penetrating was it. The ferns, rainforest and splash of the water were all just background to this foul smell of a rotting carcass. What and where it was I had no idea but movedContinue reading “DEAD SHEEP FALLS”
THE OTHER WORLD
The whole day had been spent in the motorhome, literally. With stories and photos to catch up on there was days of work to do.

I read a story of a hiker in the Appalachians who’d perished. Her husband had notified authorities when she failed to turn up, but they neverContinue reading “POOL OF THE GODS”
VICTOR-Y IN SIGHT
Clearly, Terrace Falls aren’t meant to be found. I checked my guide book. Lots of times. I followed my GPS. Clearly it really didn’t have a clue. There’s supposed to be a carpark but where in Hades it was located was a mystery to us all. The only thing I came across was a deadContinue reading “VICTOR-Y IN SIGHT”
SOME DAYS ARE DIAMOND’S
Beyond apprehensiveness, where I was going was scary. Well, the place where I wanted to photograph from was, so, when I drove past 9, count them n-i-n-e, police and rescue vehicles with flashing lights I could be excused for taking it as an omen. Still, it was a few kilometres from where I was aimingContinue reading “SOME DAYS ARE DIAMOND’S”
