Returned from Kosciuszko National Park yesterday, where I spent a few days and nights backpacking. For a New Years Eve celebration, we stayed near Blue Lake, one of the five glacier lakes in the park, 1997 meters above the sea level, under billions of stars. Photograph above was shot soon after we finished celebrating New Year with Ilya Genkin.

Happy New Year!
