Parting of the Clouds

[Josh-H]

Serendipity can be wonderful. I was driving through the South Island of New Zealand a few weeks ago. It was rainy, dreary, overcast and nothing was happening anywhere (I was consuming lots of coffee though at regular cafe stops  ). Lake Hawea was totally clagged in as was Lake Wanaka. A hike up to the top of Mount Irons in an effort to get above the mist and cloud proved fruitless. I was starting to get somewhat despondent at the continual grey skies.

Then driving along I peered out the side window of my camper just as the cloud broke in a layer and the sun lit up the revealed mountain. I slammed on the brakes, grabbed the 300mm and rattled off a total of three frames before it was gone. I wish I could share a print as for me there is gorgeous texture in the mountain that is a bit lost in the jpeg. Nevertheless here it is for your thoughts and comments as always.

You didn't happen to ask a bloke at Nugget Point if he knew of a good place to park the camper van for the night did you, while your other half was trying to see the penguins? Coz if you did that was me.

I got some real stunners back out on the point in the morning as I watched the sun come up all on my own, which was utterly amazing, and which was the real reason I was there the night before, just scouting really.

If it was you, then aint it a small world....?
