My new fav afternoon hangout

Summer! Well it feels like its here already... afternoons laxing by the lake.

Spot of fishing as the sun disappears behind the mountains

Morning Sunshine

I just love living in Glenorchy on days like this... I finally had the chance to get some nice morning photos of these great gy landmarks

These photos are facing north, during winter the sun is usually in the way of getting a good photo of these mountains behind the lagoon.

Mt Alfred is the middle/tree covered triangle, Mt Earnslaw is on it's left.

I like the perspective this shot adds...

Up and over Mt Alfred

Same goregous day

went for an afternoon stroll to the top of a mountain with Mandy

Lake Whakatipu in the background and the Dart River on the right

This is the view looking up the valley. Routeburn valley on the left next to the Dart River and Mt Ernslaw on the right just past Diamond Lake

We didn't realise there would be snow at the top!

We decided to go down the other side towards paradise...

and while it was really cool, took longer than we thought it would.

Got back to the house just on dark... was a beautiful sunset over the lake.

Heaps of cool cabbage trees dotted over the braken that we have to climb over to get down the hill. I'd hate to have to climb up it...

Great little adventure - the sheep guided us!
