In the Misty Mountains...

 




Alligator Gorge -- Mount Remarkable -- in January, 2023. Fog was the last thing we expected at the height of summer, in what is the "gateway to the Flinders Ranges," but as you drove up, and up, higher into the national park, you drove into a wall of mist. Birds called through the mist, sounding hollow and strange ... butterflies wafted on moist, chill air that was barely moving. No hint of sunlight, or wind, while sound was oddly muted. The forest seemed primordial. Wouldn't have been surprised to see a dinosaur appear from the fog!
