Emerald Current

Mossman Gorge, Daintree National Rainforest Park, Tropical Queensland

Mossman Gorge really is an amazing and peaceful place - what you see here is what it looks like in real life. The river tumbles its way over and around large granite boulders that line the gorge, and crystal clear waters reflect the surrounding tropical rainforest, producing the intense saturation of colours in the water

Shooting here proved to be extremely difficult, as the conditions were pretty extreme - the rain kept hitting the lens and camera, humidity was about at 70% which kept fogging up the lens, it was close to 40 degrees celcius (104 Fahrenheit) and the lighting conditions changed every few minutes with the fast moving rain clouds exposing and hiding the sun. But i managed to get quite a few good shots. This is one of them.
