Mt Owen from Sentinel Hill - a photo on Flickriver

Mt Owen from Sentinel Hill

Kahurangi National Park, South Island, NZ

Just spent 4 amazing days exploring and photographing this incredible marble landscape in Kahurangi National Park. Have always wanted to get into this area and finally got around to it! I can't describe how amazing this place really is - well worth the effort and could have spent longer. Was pretty cold and windy the first couple of days but the 3rd and 4th day not a breath of wind - utterly magic!

This was also the first multi-day hike I've done in some years. Work has increasingly occupied my time these last few years and with the stress of the earthquakes it was a real joy to head back into the New Zealand alpine regions that I grew up with. This trip it was just myself and my dad, who just celebrated his 60th birthday and is still going strong!

This photograph was taken in howling bitterly cold winds - had the tripod on the lowest legs with Dad holding it down for me as it was shaking so much (and it's usually a very sturdy tripod!).
