Dream Trip 2008: April

Great Travel Moment

This photo was taken on a short walk to Ralph Falls in Tasmania, Australia. Tasmania is great that way. You can pull over on the side of any road and find the most breathtaking scenes just minutes away. I was walking through the moss-covered forest, marvelling at its beauty and serenity, when I came upon this wise old man of the woods. I was taken back by the emotion I felt in seeing him. I felt like I had come home. He whispered to me that I would be back to see him again. He was so familiar to me. As I continued on my Journey and came to Ralph Falls my eyes welled up at its majesty. That is the photo that most people would have submitted. But I chose the Wiseman because he was right in saying that I would see him again...I now live in Tasmania.
