This morning I woke up nice and early to a gorgeous day. Not a cloud in the sky, a little cool and not a breath of wind.
I hadn’t made any plans for the day but there was no way I could spend the day inside so I jumped in the car and headed down to Glenorchy where there are a bunch of hiking tracks (they call it ‘tramping’ in NZ). In the end I decided to shoot up the Routeburn Track (one of the ‘Great Walks’). I had been up there years and years ago and I was keen to see how far up I could get.
Surprisingly there was a little bit of snow up high which stopped me in my tracks but I had a great 7hr walk, there wasn’t many people about and I think I even got a little burnt.
I got the camera out a couple of times but these photos really don’t do it justice.

Well, I’m jealous of your weather now, it’s been raining and stormy here in Christchurch for most of the day.
I did the Routeburn a few years ago, it was pretty impressive. I’m heading off to do the Abel Tasman track at the top of the South Island in a month or two, should be good.

You’re too modest about your photographic skills. These are impressive photographs. Very impressive.
