Photographer's Note
Please open in a new tab.
Some more of interest to our Polish friends on TE. There has been some confusion about which mountain the Polish explorer Pawel Edmund Strzelecki actually named Kosciuszko. It was thought for a while that he called this mountain, Mt Townsend, Kosciuszko. It was thought that his error was later corrected when the name was shifted to the current Mt Kosciuszko. But research referred to on Wikipedia went back to back to log books from the trip and they show that he actually did name the correct mountain.
So this mountain is Mt Townsend (Aboriginal name: Targangil) and at 2209 metres it is just 19 metres lower than Kosciuszko and is Australia's second highest mountain. It is just to the north of Kosciuszko and does have more of a peak.
Vince (vjmite) mentioned that the two peaks look much more dramatic when seen from the west so in the workshop is a photo that I took 10 years ago from the west. Mt Kosciuszko is on the far right and Mt Townsend is just to its left.

Hello,
Nice minimalist mountain scene. Never imagined that you can find snow in Australia, even high, on the peaks.
Have a good day.

Bonjour, cher Ian,
L'ouverture d'une station de ski n'est guère envisageable en l'état !
Cet espace du névé reste une piste limitée.
Un bel espace sauvage à admirer.
Amitiés.

Hello Ian,
Of course a nice photo but it only becomes extra interesting after reading your excellent info.
I never realized that there were also Polish explorers.
Excellent presentation
Have a nice day, groet Rob

Hello Ian,
This doesn't look like an overwhelmingly steep climb, but the thousands of boulders may make it a tough exercise anyway. It's another interesting view. The green areas make the WS even more attractive.
Best regards,

Hello Ian,
If I had been shown this photograph, in isolation, I would not have connected it with Australia. It has been interesting to have knowledge extended.
In the large format, the details of the scree slope, interspersed with snow, is very clear.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Ian,
yes I remember reading about the mix up. Either way this area is spectacular and indeed the wider panorama allows maybe to better appreciate the scale of the place.
Here the presence of snow makes a great contribution.
Great adventure, excellent reportage,

Hi Ian,
The subject is well framed. The point of view is showing the details of the Mount Townsend. The light is bringing out the colors. Have a nice dya.

Hello Ian,
Looks cold and inhospitable enough to be well above the tree line. Good sharpness and amazing that it can be 47c at Badgerys Creek in western Sydney but still cold enough to support last winters' snow here. Good sharpness and framing.

watching the two images looks a not so hilly area, not so pointed at least.
usually these highest points have a twin peak smaller, it is the same in brazil where the two highest peaks are located near one of the other.
take care
