Pixie’s Parasol
Alvin Lam
One may not always see a rainbow after rain or might even rant relentlessly about rainy weather without realising what all that rain promises and beyond. These wood-inhabiting Pixie’s Parasols or Mycena interrupta are one of many ephemeral gems that come in all sort of shapes, colours and sizes in our pristine Tasmanian wilderness.
BEAKER STREET SCIENCE PHOTOGRAPHY PRIZE
This photograph was a finalist in Beaker Street’s annual Science Photography Prize. This highly-respected prize invites all Tasmanians to showcase the wonders of our extraordinary part of the world — which is teeming with science and scientists. Finalist images are displayed at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery during Beaker Street Festival each August, with great prizes on offer for Judges’ and People’s Choice winners.
The Beaker Street Science Photography Prize would not be possible without the support of Full Gamut, Tasmania’s premier fine art printers and long-time sponsor of this competition. Many thanks also go to Pennicott Wilderness Journeys, which donates a generous prize for the People’s Choice winner.
