Nelson Falls, Derwent Valley, Mt Wellington

Two of the iconic landscape locations of Tasmania — Nelson Falls and the Derwent Valley — can be reached along the Lyell Highway that runs more-or-less East-West across the center of the island, to the South of the Cradle Mountain national park. From many photos I’ve selected just a few that I hope convey a sense the places: waterfalls, of course, glacial moraines, the colors and shapes of the cool-temperate rain forests and of the rural valleys in autumn.

Also included in this album are four photos I took of the sunrise above Hobart from the (freezing) summit of Mt WellingtonPlease down­load the PDF book (36 MB) and open it — on your com­put­er, or tablet — in FULL SCREEN dis­play. That’s how I meant it to be seen. Please use the com­ments field below to tell me what you think (love it? hate it?)

Here’s an overview of the con­tents (click this to down­load, too).
