It was love at first sight for me in regard to The Thumbs. And that feeling has not diminished over the years since I originally saw its distinctive summit piercing the clouds above the Gordon basin. Two visits, two high camps close to that summit, two glorious evenings for photography.

First time up here I went out to the west. This time it was north and east while busily hatching a plan to explore all that enticing terrain seen here above the river.

The last morning along the South Coast Track and the low-angled sun shining through the mist along the coast doesn't encourage one to hurry to the waiting transport back to "civilisation".

The weather was not kind to us as we attempted Lake Judd and the Lonely Tarns. The boardwalk to Judd was great, but it ends in a short section of bare muddy track and jumbled moraine clambering. It was working through this, that I spied this small green fungi on a short drop right in the pathway. Well worth the time to setup for a shot in the dim light.

The weather forecast was favourable so I went for a day walk to the Walls of Jerusalem. This photo is from the Temple, looking at the central Walls area.
