The lakes in the centre of the World Heritage area of Tasmania have black water from peat. It produces magnificent reflections when the weather conditions are good.
@peadar Thanks Peter - I thought of you yesterday when we saw an excellent steam crane used to raise bridges over canals. Looked like something you may like. :)
@olivetreeann Ann - this area is just a photographer's dream - I couldn't tear myself away - the mountains were magic on the black water - and there was not a breathe of wind.
