ENTRY DESCRIPTION
I took this image at 1,100 meters above sea level on kunanyi/Mount Wellington, Hobart, Australia. It was early October (Spring) - generally an unpredictable time of year weather wise. I pre-visualized these shots months earlier and scouted an appropriate vantage point from where to capture my images, once the right conditions prevailed.

After three days of whiteout conditions, a freshening sea breeze began to disperse the thick fog, revealing the Lost World. This location features 180-million-year-old Dolerite rock columns which make up the mountain range - exemplifying the cataclysmic forces of nature that created these formations and the fact that fire and ice continue to shape this landscape. Each scene lasted mere seconds, as I looked on from my vantage point.

The ever-changing conditions provided an opportunity to ponder on the metaphor for the fleeting moments in life.
