View of Mt Cook from Lake Pukaki
Morning view of the Alps from Braemar
Went up to Mt Cook National Park for the day, and did a very hot walk across the moraine of the Mueller and Hooker glaciers to get closer to the mountain. The photos I took of Mt Cook were not so good, it was against the light, but this one came out OK. This is the lake at the end of the Mueller Glacier, with I think Mount Sefton up behind it. The moraine wall at right is from the Hooker Glacier; the Mueller cuts down through the end of it. The feeling is of being in a massive rock-quarry; it looks everlasting, but everything in the landscape is constantly moving and changing. If you like to see glaciated geomorphology, (and you'd be a dull person if you didn't, IMHO) this is the place to be.
Sunset lays the last light on Mt Cook
Ben Ohau Range, slow and clean sketch
Ben Ohau Range, quick and dirty sketch. These turned out much better than I thought, I've never really tried landscapes before, so I was quite chuffed.
And a funny Andy Warholesque tea towel that I bought at the Farm Barn at Fairlie.
That's all the holiday snaps. Tomorrow it's back to dreary everyday life.
