Wallaces Hut
Another shot from up the high country a couple of weeks ago. The conditions were almost perfect for what I had hoped for. A nice fresh snow cover and some colour in the snowgums. It had snowed all morning and by 1pm the police were closing the roads. So I was forced down from the highplains but I was stoked that I got to spend the entire morning up there with not even a handful of people about.

Just me using your jumperleads and snatch strap when the forementioned didn’t work…haha. I didn’t see you in this spot but a have one identical. Nice work. Great minds think alike
haha – yeah I went up there when I furst got there after chatting to your old man, I think you were up the back at that stage.
wonderful Tony.
you got 3 of my all time favs in this shot.
i have a huge weak spot for these high country huts! and I want to get to them all someday. great character in them
the snot gum is stunning. and then snow- well you know how i feel about that 😉
great shot as always. keep em coming 🙂
hey Stephen,
Fantastic you dig it mate ! goodluck getting to all the high country huts though as there is about 100 of them I think !
You should make a move or trip over to vicco for a period someday mate – you’d love some of what’s on offer !
cheers,
Great shot Tony,
Looks a little too cold for me, great composition.
Love the colour in the pauciflora.
hey Tom,
Yeah WAY too cold for my liking as well…but you gotta experience things for yourself sometimes…so putting myself in the cold for a bit of magic and memories is fine.
thanks mate 🙂
This is a great shot and one that I wish I had taken.
You were very lucky to get this before being forced off the mountain.
Thanks Stephen,
Yeah I guess I was, though I had a good 6-7hrs of daylight up there to do some exploring and photography 🙂
this beats all those selective colourists hands-down. the sheltered reds and oranges are great in the dramatic greyscale scene. did you spend long looking for this tree or were there others similar?
Thanks Cain, yeah I was pretty lucky that one had a bit of colour in it really (not that many actually do at one time)…It was a pretty basic composition as I wanted the setting not just the hut, having been there once before I knew where I wanted to shoot from beforehand, and in fact this is the first shot from that day.
