Featured image shows New Zealand’s highest peak, viewed from its inland side, at 4.34 pm on March 27, 2019.
I suggest you zoom in on the high ridges to see the windblown fresh snow streaming into the air, like sand off a dune.
That morning, driving north beside Lake Pukaki toward Mount Cook/Aoraki, the view ahead was certainly dramatic, but it suggested that we would not that day see more than fleeting glimpses of the tallest, still-glaciated peaks.
This post’s final image was taken at 5.40 pm, looking north up the Tasman Valley, with Aoraki/Mt Cook now entirely exposed, basking in uninterrupted sunshine.
