Lewis Pass

I spent nearly a month in New Zealand and had looked forward to many opportunities to do star trails. As it turned out, I had a total of 3 clear nights the entire time I was there... Even so, I tried to capitalize. There were a few scenes I really was sad to miss, but it was overcast for those.

 

This scene is from the top of Lewis Pass, on the south island of New Zealand. This is a 1 hour exposure. I would have let it ride longer but it was COLD! Also, I was tired and had an hour drive down a very windy mountain road before I could sleep...
