With its rugged mountain peaks, raging rivers and lush rainforest, Franklin – Gordon Wild Rivers National Park World Heritage Area is the essence of true wilderness. Apart from a few short walks, most of the park is remote and inaccessible. Frenchman’s Cap, a dramatic white quartzite peak with its 450m (1480′) vertical cliff, is the most well-known feature of Franklin – Gordon Wild Rivers National Park.
I had spent about 20 minutes searching for a particular spot I had been recommended to shoot sunrise, but the directions weren’t clear and I just couldn’t find it. The sun was coming up, and this is just where I happened to be. The morning was completely calm and still following a heavy rain that night. The early morning mist diffused the brilliant warm light of the rising sun, bathing the wilderness in rich yellows and oranges. I felt swallowed by the sunrise.
