Beachside hut in the Marlborough Sounds, seen while on a very pleasant day's cruising. HFF.

This road runs from Queenstown in Tasmania to the nearby mine at Mt Lyell, before continuing to Hobart and the east coast. I took the shot primarily because it shows at close hand how smelter fumes over the past century have cleared the vegetation, which would once have been lush, while the devastation has been made complete by heavy rainfall removing the soil from the bare earth. Happy Fence Friday!

The Light-mantled Sooty Albatrosses nest on very steep (and dangerously unstable) slopes on the sides of the plateau. They have no natural land predators, so are very unconcerned by photographers (well, I guess within reason). From an old Kodachrome slide taken with Minolta SR1 and Auto Rokkor 135mm 2.8 lens.
