Black Mountain Tower from Mount Roger

No need to limit this series to landscapes but it’s a nice one to start with. The best we get for the year we’ll give a prize to.

I got some recent pics of Canberra i took with my digital camera. How do I get them on the Board ?

It is the top of Melba/Fraser/Spence/Flynn indeed. Pick the right side street and the hike to the top is short. There are numerous good solid rocks to park ones tripod on without too many trees obstructing the view.

The sight up there at 7:30 in the morning, with fog clinging to the base line of the surrounding mountains and the light hitting it at an obtuse angle, is magic.

My brother will be visiting with his Powershot G5 in a month, I’ll get a better quality capture of the above shot, along with a bunch of others.

Mt Rogers is in the NW corner of Belconnen – in the Fraser/Spence/Flynn area. You can find it on Map 27 on the UBD in the yellow pages.

Can I ask a daft question (just to get my bearings) – where is Mt Roger?

I knew he wouldn’t show the others *shudder*

Steev at WoodenSpoon has already done something similar with his TelstraYama series.

(Steev also did some of the photography in our header image.)

what about a “36 views of black mountain (tower)” series? in either digital photographs or 17th century japanese wodcuts of course.
