Day hike through the Hooker Valley. I was lucky that the sun was already lower when I arrived at my destination. The sight of the mighty mountain is breathtaking.
Aoraki / Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand, with 3,724 m (12,218 ft).

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.
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.
Portable kitchens are very popular everywhere in Thailand. I found the most delicious soups, barbecues, and salads at such food stalls. All is very fresh prepared and cooked. This one I have seen and captured in Nathon, Koh Samui.

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.
This is a stitched pano of 6 hand-held portrait images.
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.
When it first flew up into the tree, it gave a big shake... like a dog and the light backlit its feathers.

Taken from SH 8 on the golden hour at about a 60 km distance away (as the crow flies) on the shore of Lake Pukaki. Due to the use of the 105 mm prime this is a heavy crop in pp. My initial plan was to shoot a wider view but decided during pp it looked a lot better cropped as the foreground was just too much water.

You might conclude that I've gone beserk with the colour sliders.
But No.
The low low tide exposed all the normally covered reef and sandbar.
The intense green in the sunlight caught my attention.
The beautiful milky blue-grey stream of the Hooker River cuts its way through the verdant valley beneath Aoraki, South Island's highest peak.

I did a grocery shopping this morning and picked up a couple of bags of Salt Free Kettle Chips, my favourite. I paired them with some Tzatziki Dip. This dip has its origins in the Ottoman Empire. It was yummy!
Imagine... A little wooden shack nestling amongst the sand dunes along a deserted stretch of beach. The only sounds, the gentle lapping of the waves on the shoreline. A morning spent beach combing, bringing back the precious finds and decorating the hut's one windowsill. An evening sitting in quiet contemplation with a good book and only a candle for lighting. A good meal, perhaps fish you've caught yourself and cooked over an open fire on the beach. Sleep, restful deep sleep, lulled by the sounds of the waves, dreaming of a little wooden hut by the sea... Imagine...
