Fresh Water

















This stream is fed from the snow melting off the mountain peaks above. The water here is so fresh (and cold) that it would be amongst the freshest in the world.

Mountain Peak


















This piece of rock does not seem significant at first glace. But, when you consider it is at 7000 feet, and is in the middle of a mountain range in the South Island of New Zealand, it is more than likely that there has only ever been less than half a dozen people who have ever stepped foot on it. Magnificent!

Sleeping Giants


















These mountains are south of the Wairau River Valley in the South Island. It is hard to put the size of these mountains into perspective in this photo. To give you an idea, it is about 6000 feet to the valley floor from where I took this photo. The water area of the river at the bottom is about 50 feet wide.

It is hard to describe what I like about this photo of central South Island New Zealand. Can you explain it?

Mountain River















This dry river bed in the Southern Alps of New Zealand is at about 5000 feet above sea level. The only water that feeds it is from the melting snow above.

Pancake Rocks


The world famous Pancake Rocks at Punakaiki, between Greymouth and Westport on the West Coast of the South Island, New Zealand.

These rocks are famous because the large rock formations look like gigantic stacked pancakes.

Mount Something?


Looking out from Something airfield towards Mount Something in the South Island, New Zealand. Hmmm...I'll have to find a map!

Unless you can tell me the name of the mountain and the airfield I'm standing on?
