A three shot panorama of the Natural Bridge. It is a naturally formed rock arch over Cave Creek, a tributary of the Nerang River. It was formed from a waterfall which undercut a cave beneath the waterfall and dug a pothole on top, until the two joined and the creek flowed through the cave, leaving an arch across the front. The bridge is located in Springbrook National Park in the Gold Coast hinterland of Queensland, Australia. The park is situated on the McPherson Range, near Springbrook, approximately 100 kilometres (62 mi) south of Brisbane. The park is part of the Shield Volcano Group of the UNESCO World Heritage listed Gondwana Rainforests of Australia.

Thank you for your submission!
Thanks for great entry! I really like how different colours the same water has depending of the light source... beautiful and mysterious.
Yes. The colour dichotomy is a result of the direct green rainforest reflections contrasting with the subtle blue from preferential scattering of short-wavelength light as it hits the the waterfall mist and has to travel down quite a deep shaft (this is the same reason the sky is blue from the water vapor in the atmosphere) .
Totaly true, thanks for great info!
