195 Milford sound
Milford Sound is actually a fiord, having been carved by a glacier.
Like the rest of Fiordland, Milford Sound receives a lot of rain (7 metres annually apparently). When we heard the forecast for the time we planned to visit, we almost changed our minds.
Luckily the owner of the caravan park told us that it was probably best to see Milford Sound in the rain.
So off we went. The day we arrived the weather was overcast but mostly dry.
We decided to go onto a overnight cruise.
It started raining at night and in the morning the place was alive! Unbelievable experience!!!
I found it a real challenge to photograph (constantly wiping the lens to get rid of drops) in the pouring rain and light conditions.
Anyway, I hope that you will be able to imagine what it was like from my pictures.
What I can say, this place, in the rain, nature at her spectacular best!!!!
Thanks for looking
