Seen from the more traditional angle across from Lake Pukaki. Mount Cook / Aoraki lies in the Southern Alps in the South Island of New Zealand. Mt Cook / Aoraki is the tallest mountain in New Zealand at a height of 3,724 m. Unfortunately the weather gods kept the sun at bay and caused a light breeze. However, I'd like to think that I still managed a respectable image. Hope you will enjoy this one!
Rather than using the traditional landscape lens I used my 85mm portrait lens which brings the distant mountains in a bit closer.
Night shift cook down at the Texas Tavern, Roanoke . Nikkor -P 105 2.5. With the colors this lens produces, it was an easy choice to leave it as is. This is straight from the camera.

Alaska Range mountains just visible across the Inlet on the horizon, in the fading sunset. Fire Island is in the middle of the Inlet, on the right of the photo.

Construction began in the spring of 1907 in Rhyolite, NV and by 1910 the Cook Bank was closed. The bank was three stories tall and housed the local Post Office in the basement. The inside had marble staircases and all the modern conveniences, like electric lights and indoor plumbing. A financial crisis at the time caused banks across the country to go bankrupt.
Aoraki / Mt Cook reflected in the milk pond flat Lake Pukaki on a very fine late afternoon. I have rarely seen the lake this mirror like.

Aoraki / Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand. It's height, as of 2014, is listed as 3,724 metres. It is situated in the Southern Alps, the mountain range that runs the length of the South Island.
Lake Pukaki is the largest lake in the area, and it proudly shows off New Zealand’s tallest peak, Aoraki/ Mount Cook, from the many lookout points around its shores. The water colour of the lake is a bright turquoise due to glacial flour, made from extremely fine rock particles that have come from the surrounding glaciers. The lake is fed at its northern end by the braided Tasman River, which has its source in the Hooker and Tasman Glacier. When the sun hits the surface of the lake, it reflects off the particles transforming it to a brilliant blue. The combination of the magnificent lake, surrounding peaks and wide open skies are a dream for photographers and pose the difficult challenge of capturing the grandeur of the ever-changing landscape.

Aoraki / Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand. It lies in the Southern Alps, the mountain range which runs the length of the South Island. There was a large rock fall in 1991 that turned the summit into a knife-edge ridge and reduced the height of the mountain. collections.tepapa.govt.nz/topic/1362
The sun sets above with the clouds over Mammoth Hot Springs there in Yellowstone. It was incredible view to behold. Tried to do it some justice with this handheld capture.
Dear all,
As this is a recycled account, I may have unfollowed you by mistake during housekeeping. Please follow me again and sorry for that.
Distant view of Aoraki / Mt Cook around sunrise on a chilly morning. At 3,724 m, Mt Cook is New Zealand's highest mountain. The body of water is called Lake Pukaki, one of NZ's hydro lakes.
Half way between Mount Cook village and the Hooker Glacier we came across this old hut. As can be seen all the way up the valley New Zealand's high point dominated the approach.
Cook's Lobster and Aie House i located in Harpswell, Maine on Bailey Island. I am not sure if I prefer this montone or the color version.

I struggled with this for awhile the sun was so strong on Mt Cook, getting the exposure right was difficult. It also made the sky look fake when I played with the processing so I ended up doing a more artistic look.
The beautiful milky blue-grey stream of the Hooker River cuts its way through the verdant valley beneath Aoraki, South Island's highest peak.
