Benjamin Maze, Downward Spiral (PLACES WILDERNESS 2023)

Captured in one of the many beautiful canyons deep within the Blue Mountains of NSW. This large snaking water flow was an amazing water feature to come across as we progressed through the canyon, which also made for a tricky descent/ascent when trying to get past it! It truly felt like we were venturing into the heart of the National Park as we hiked, climbed and swam through this beautiful natural feature, surrounded by moss, ferns and water (and large spiders!).
