The Star Of Absolution
When visiting Purakaunui Falls in New Zealand back in 2014, I couldn’t believe my luck when I arrived to find the sun filtering through a small gap in the trees above. The rare alignment of light lasted no longer then ten minutes, which resulted in me scrambling and sliding around the wet rocks here, trying to get the sunstar just right.

The Unknown
There are some places where nature is slowly reclaiming its place. This is an older image from 2013, an abandoned train line located at Helensburgh NSW. Capturing the fall here all comes down to timing. A good solid downpour of rain is needed for at least 24hrs. If you arrive too soon, there will hardly be a trickle, arrive too late and the entire tunnel fills and floods up to the ceiling.
