The Friday Photo #45 – The Sentinel, Tasmania

The photos you normally see of the area around Wineglass Bay in Tasmania look like something out of a tourist brochure. Often, in fact, they are something out of a tourist brochure. Blue skies, white sand, clear water, the lot.
Not on the day I was there.
It had been raining on and off since early morning and I was a little dubious about taking the 13km loop track up and over the hill. Although the track was a bit damp underfoot the cool temperatures made hiking much more pleasant, however, and it turned out to be a great day’s exploring.
Coming across this piece of driftwood standing watch out over the stormy ocean was just one of the walk’s many highlights.

Even with the clouds the water looks incredible!
Still a great pic! I got there on a good day
Wow! I agree, that water and beach look amazing. Great shot.
