Florence Falls plunge pool

The plunge pool at Florence Falls at Litchfield National Park, Northern Territory, Australia in January 2009. What a seriously beautiful spot. Because it was the wet season and raining we had it largely to ourselves. Taken with a 10 mm ultra wide angle lens.

Rain forest canopy

Giant termite mound.

Bronya and Elena and Angel posing at a giant termite mound at Litchfield National Park, Northern Territory, Australia in January 2009. The second photo looks blurry because it was raining and there was a water droplet on the lens. I have included a photo of the same termite mound, which I took over 12 years earlier in 1995, with my colleague Nancy posing in front of it. As you can see, the termite mound is slowly but surely crumbling.

Magnetic termite mounds
