Hartz Mountains 17-07-08

Thu 17 Jul, 2008 10:02 pm

Here are some pics from my walk in Hartz Mountains today. Was a great walk but didnt go to the peak itself as the clouds rolled in when I was walking up to the pass. Clouds covered the range for 95% of the time I was there. These have only been roughly edited but managed to get some good variety in the shots. Hope you enjoy them.

Thanks for sharing these TD, some lovely images.
Particularly appreciate the water in Hartz Lake from Hartz Pass, also the beautifully gentle moon over the Huon.

Hi Tasdaz,

I was at Hartz on Thursday morning. Were you driving the Falcon? If so, I said hi to you in the carpark. There were very few other people around. I put a couple of photos up at http://tasbushblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/hartz-peak-17th-july-2008.html. Looks like you got slightly clearer weather than me, I didn't see the peak as clearly as your photos show.

Thank you all for your comments, it surely is a great place to walk and take photos.

That was me. Amazing how small this virtual world is!! I was lucky to get some shots of the peak in clear weather as it was clouded over most of the time. I tried waiting around to catch the alpenglow on the peak but cloud stopped that plan. Mind you I was a bit envious of the all wheel drive system in your car ;)

sheesh... if you were both decked out in the daggy bushwalk tasmania hats and t-shirts you would have recognised a fellow forum member on the spot! ;)

Yeah, t-shirts in the south west in the snow? I think not! Maybe a bumper sticker?
