Yet another view taken while travelling along the Mount Cook Road in the Mt Cook / Aoraki National Park, looking directly at the majestic Mount Cook. The park was formed in 1953 and is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It is part of the Southern Alps on the South Island of New Zealand, a magical area with soaring peaks, glaciers and permanent snow fields. It contains Mt Cook, which is the highest mountain in New Zealand, reaching 3,754 metres, and this was the mountain that helped Sir Edmund Hillary to develop his climbing skills in preparation for the conquest of Everest. The park also contains more than 140 peaks standing over 2,000 metres and 72 named glaciers, which cover 40 percent of the park’s 700 square kilometres. According to Māori legend, Aoraki was a young boy who, along with his three brothers, were the sons of Rakinui, the Sky Father. On their sea voyage around the Papatuanuku, the Earth Mother, their canoe became stranded on a reef and tilted. Aoraki and his brothers climbed onto the top side of their canoe. However, the south wind froze them and turned them to stone. Their canoe became the South Island (Te Waka o Aoraki). Aoraki, the tallest, became the highest peak, and his brothers created the Kā Tiritiri o te Moana, the Southern Alps

Beautiful photo Christine!
Thank you Lynden.
Outstanding capture.
I really appreciate both your lovely comment and fave Julie.
It’s a word that I don’t like to use, but I must – awesome. That is, the mountain inspires awe and you have photographed it beautifully.
That is such a nice comment. Thank you very much Bette.
Wonderful lighting and a great perspective with all those lines, creating a rather majestic view, Christine!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words Phil. It’s a magical place.
Lol…you did not go on the same shoot with Lynden did you? Just accepted one from him from the same beautiful scene.
Click the banner to take you to the group. Your work is welcome here and please enjoy it.
Thanks Derek and lol … we didn’t realise that we’d put the same shot up until after it was done and wondered if any one would put two and two together. We were over there for our daughter’s wedding.
