One from the archives. Matariki over Aoraki on the night of a full moon. #matariki #aoraki #NewZealand

Can't shake the feeling that #Aoraki is off on an adventure and the clouds aren't covering him, so much as covering for him

So, New Zealand photos! Where do I even begin?

I guess #Aoraki (#MountCook) and the #HookerValleyTrack are good places to start…

Partner: check it out, that's unusual! You can see rocks at the top of #Aoraki.
Mé: ..as opposed to snow?
Partner: perfect time to go hunt for dead bodies, they'll be stinking up there!
Me: 🤨😬

TIL that, as of 2015, there are 238 known fatalities on that mountain, ~60 unrecovered. I do enjoy the fabulous view we have if him, but oof. This knowledge has definitely tainted it. All those poor families.😱😞

I took some pictures around Lake Tekapo and Pukaki in October 2021. Mount Cook Aoraki presides. There are also really pretty lupins a bit later in the year, but this is too early.

Aoraki Mt Cook, NZ's tallest mountain. The name means "Cloud Piercer", because the peak is so commonly wrapped in cloud.

Seen from the far end of Lake Pukaki, just by the highway.

From the archives: birds at Glentanner, October 2021.

In the shadow of Aoraki, we saw black stilts, banded dotterels, South Island Pied Oystercatchers, black-fronted terns, paradise shelducks, spur-winged plovers, black swans, and black-billed gulls.

The 55-210 did OK, though I wish I had my 100-400 then. I went back more recently but didn't really get many birds in December 2022, just waist-high water.

I have visited three times, and would go again. Why did I go there? to see Aotearoa's highest peak, Aoraki, and of course the icebergs.

Mount Cook or Aoraki (as it was first named by the Maori people) is New Zealand’s tallest mountain. It now stands at 3,724m (12,217ft). It’s actually now technically 40m (131ft) shorter than it was last recorded in 1991 after a few major slips and erosion

Day 22 of my #AdventCalendar of #art. Sometimes, when you’re just passing through, the scenery just screams ‘STOP’. #Aoraki did just that on a day with howling winds and a gorgeous sky. A study in blue and white.

A few years back I was out taking pictures of near Aoraki/Mount Cook and the moon started to rise, illuminating the tops of the peaks around me. A majestic sight! #Aoraki #NewZealand #astronomy #astrophotography

Aoraki/Mt Cook in B&W with a lil pre dawn glow on the peaks. One of my favourite images this year!
