Main range & Blue Lake, Kosciuszko National Park, New South Wales, Australia
Capturing this sunset image of Blue Lake frozen over and covered in snow during the height of winter required camping out overnight on the snow nearby. On this evening I was presented with stunning colours after sunset. As the sky darkened the last light lit up the frozen Blue Lake and the snow drifts along main range. This last light also reflecting off the low clouds created a magical winter scene amongst the glacial landscape.
Blue Lake is one of only four cirque lakes found on the Australian mainland. A cirque lake is a deep lake formed by the head of a glacier. Blue Lake was formed when glaciers flowing from the Great Dividing Range converged and carved out a basin in the granite bedrock. Its valley contains the best developed glacial features in the Kosciuszko National Park alpine area of New South Wales. Blue Lake's surface is entirely open water and is frozen for about four months of the year; overflowing in spring with the melting of the snow. Its catchment provides habitat for a number of species that have been listed as threatened and a number of threatened plant and invertebrate species that are restricted to alpine areas are found here.
AWARDS
2011 | Bronze award - International Loupe Awards
All Scott Leggo artworks are made locally in Australia. They are produced using the highest archival materials and processes to ensure your artwork lasts for years to come. You can choose the artwork type that best suits the look and feel of your home or workplace.
CANVAS
Superior grade canvas, printed with archival inks and laminated to protect your print. The texture of the canvas creates a 'painterly' feel to the photograph. Your print comes stretched on a kiln dried Meranti timber frame, ready to hang. A popular, affordable, lightweight and modern way to enjoy Scott’s photographs on your wall. | Learn more |
UNFRAMED PRINT
Exquisite Hahnemühle Photo Rag fine art cotton paper. Museum quality, archival fine art paper and inks. As a print only, this requires framing, allowing you to select your own mounting and framing options. Unframed prints come rolled in a protective tube, making them best for international customers. The print has an additional 6cm white border around the photo, allowing sufficient room to accommodate various framing choices. | Learn more |
FRAMED PRINT
This clean, simple and modern look will suit any home. Your Hahnemühle fine art paper print is mounted and framed in a contemporary shadow box frame (approx 27mm wide x 48mm deep) that is available in white or raw wood. It is completed with museum grade acrylic (rather than glass) as it is light weight, transports well (doesn't break) and protects against 99% of UV. Framed prints come ready to hang on your wall. The listed size is for the image itself - the border and frame add approximately 7.5cm to each side of the print (ie 15cm additional length in total).
ACRYLIC - WALL MOUNT
This frameless, glass like feel is one of the most impressive and striking ways to display your print. Printed on a professional metallic paper, creates a 'pearlescent' metallic gloss finish. The print is face mounted onto optically clear, museum grade acrylic which offers 99% UV protection. The crisp, clean image is backed with treated aluminium, protecting your print from front to back. It is then finished with a diamond edge polisher. This comes ready to hang, with a thin aluminium frame hidden behind the print, so your print can be securely hung on your wall.

Select photographs are only available as limited edition prints. Scott’s approach to his limited edition prints ensures they are possessed only by a small number of clients, guaranteeing your artwork's investment into the future. | Learn more |
