Evening over the Pourangaki Valley

At the top of the track that drops steeply to Pourangaki hut, we paused to enjoy the evening. Within an hour I'd reached the transition between scrub and forest. The last sunlight had slipped from the ridgetops and the cold had begun to tighten. I packed the camera away and dropped into the rapidly darkening forest to catch Jono and Laura.

    Kia ora Pete,
    Exquisite Pete! Such a stunning place. We are so lucky. I have only arrived at that spot from the other direction and Maungamahue. A long way in any direction.

    Kia ora Robb. Yes, there's no short cut there. To my mind, that makes it all the more wonderful.
