Story: Perceptions of the landscape

‘Viewing platform at Bowen Falls, Milford 2003’ (3rd of 3)

‘Viewing platform at Bowen Falls, Milford 2003’

Milford Sound, a scenic icon since the 19th century, receives a rather different treatment in this work by Wayne Barrar – the focus is as much on the platform as the waterfall. Barrar highlights the way that man-made constructions such as bridges or paths affect our perception of the landscape.
