lake pedder, tasmania, 2017.
one of my favourite areas of Tasmania. part of the south west wilderness, where a few wild lakes are lined with rugged mountain ranges.
the above photo was taken from the back of a van during an autumn road trip around the state. the rest of the trip had mainly blue skies with scattered clouds, but here i was lucky enough to crash a night by the lake during a spell of moody weather, which created feelings of isolation, and accentuated the intensity of the landscape. a windless afternoon also meant it was quiet and still. moody tones and overcast skies with beautiful cloud definition made for a good time taking photos.
the road to Strathgordon, the town nestled between the two lakes, Lake Pedder and Lake Gordon, is a pretty beautiful experience. it's a 150 km road that leads west from Mt. Field. it meanders through endless forest with the odd ingress into open landscape and not a dwelling in sight for the whole journey. it's like driving to nowhere, as Strathgordon is literally the end of the road and there is nada beyond apart from wilderness.
