    Is in the foreground, looking up the Cass River towards the Gamack Range. In the middle of summer. A drive along a gravel road, and then a short 4wd track to get near the edge of the lake. A return visit in winter is on the cards after a dusting of snow.

    All with the Canon RP, 70-200 f4 L. Some with a polarizing filter.

    Same lake, but with Two Thumb Range (honestly, I am not making it up, and who names these places?) in the background. I like the how the cloud rolls over the hills. The same hills that is in the background of the guy fishing at the same lake.

    I have a few coming up from Lake Pukaki and Mt Cook. They may float your boat as well. But I will start a new thread for those.

    Cheers Ray. I was going to ease off with these types of images, and go looking for some others. I am really spoilt here and we need to go out and explore some other places. Hopefully in about a month or so, we will take a week off work and go out somewhere new. Well, that's the plan.


    Thanks Caladina. The mountain fed lakes have a unique colour all of their own. If there is a little snow around, clearish skies, you almost can't loose.

    I didn't realize that this was on our doorstep, and I now know that I am in a very fortunate position. I don't want to come across as a spoilt photographer. But I will keep on posting these for you.

    The last light of the day.
