I had spent the day wondering the forests of Springbrook National Park, trekking to waterfalls and just all round adventuring. I arrived at Purling Brook Falls and it was flowing! but flowing a little to much, the water was spraying out sideways and the only available spots for taking photos were getting drenched. So I had just walked 4km to get there and now had to keep going, and for this you have to pass behind the water fall, I am currently sick so this was a bit of a pain, but I did it and came out the other side damp. I walked 20m away and it started to bucket down. I should have just stood under the water fall... Now a 4km hike in the rain and mud back to the car and with maybe two or three photos.. Great.. Oh well I had to do it.
Just my luck, when I got back to the car drenched, it stopped, maybe mother nature was trying to tell me something. So I got off the mountain quick smart. Coming down I could see the Gold Coast and could tell dusk was gonna be good. So I darted to Snapper, and with the high tide and the clouds out to sea and the sun just giving enough light from behind the hinterland I was able to get to work. Here are a couple. Pretty stoked now I didn't just go home after mother nature kicked my ass.

The sky just seemed to be getting better.
