Mt. Cook (Aoraki) and Lake Pukaki Summertime NZ New Zealand’s Southern Alps are a good example of our planet’s perpetual energy at work. These 3000m plus mountains are constantly being built by the interaction of two tectonic plates.The Indo-Australian Plate in the west being uplifted by and subducting the Pacific Plate to the east. Natural forces like weather and earthquakes along this alpine fault cause erosion at approximately the same rate as the mountains are being formed. / Lake Pukaki was formed by one of the many receding glaciers from these alps. Its distinctive color is created by glacial flour (finely ground rock particles).
While I was shooting this sunset, some boys came along, aged around about 12-14. One came up to me and asked me what I was taking photos of. I said “The sunset”. He asked, “the what?”. Thinking he hadn’t heard me properly, I repeated, “The sunset”. He looked at me blankly, as though he had never heard of such a thing. I pointed to the sky and said “Look, over there!”. He looked up and said “Oh, you mean all that f-ing orange and shit?” / Yeah. That. I was, quite frankly, stunned that a child could get to the age of 13 (or thereabouts) and not know that the sun sets and rises, or that all that “f-ing orange and shit” is called a sunset. Even a week later, I am still gobsmacked. And more than a little sad. Sunset in Aotearoa’s beautiful Kapiti Coast, on the North Island of New Zealand. Straight off camera, apart from slight cropping and retouch of a distracting streetlight. Kodak Easyshare CX3700 point and shoot.
Aoraki / Mt Cook at the head of the Tasman valley in the South Island of New Zealand. The highest peak of the Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This was taken next to a tiny tourist info booth on the main road between Christchurch and Queenstown. Definately worth a stop, but apparently there’s only 10 cloud free days per year! Taken on a Nikon D50, October 2008

Excerpt from: / The Upas Tree / by Aleksandr Pushkin. Deep in the desert’s misery / Far in the fury of the sand, / there stands the awesome Upas Tree / lone watchman of a lifeless land. The wilderness a world of thirst, / in wrath engendered it and filled / its every root, every accursed / grey leafstalk with a sap that killed. Dissolving in the midday sun / the poison oozes through its bark, / and freezing when the day is done / gleams thick and gem-like in the dark….. This is actually nowhere near the desert, it is a pic of a leafless tree in Glen Innes Auckland New Zealand, with a few woody layers and a rotated inverted layer of forest in the background. Oh – imagination is such a wonderful thing. :) Featured in “JPG Castoffs” group. / Featured in “Digital Artists United” group.
