Inside The Road Trip
On Wednesday, I focused on the Wild South part of m’road trip, which ended with some ‘classic’ shots of Queenstown and its environs.
While there, I had also posted some photos of autumn colour around Lake Hayes.
The day I took those days was almost perfect and the wider environment around the lake — a wee jewel caught in the hills between Queenstown and Arrowtown — is also worthy of a closer look.
Despite the tranquil waters, you can still see the raw power in the landscape.
Schist rock is one of the area’s traditional building materials, although not all the old buildings are in such good condition as the one immediately below:
And rising beyond lake, trees, and hills, the snow of what I ‘think’ is one of New Zealand’s more famous mountain’s, because of its ski field, Coronet Peak:
I miss you, beautiful New Zealand
We miss you, too, Madams Victoria… :-/
Beautiful New Zealand! :sigh:
This was almost the perfect day — but Skippers Canyon is coming!
