I left Waterfall hut some time after Laura and Jono, following them back up Pinnacle Creek. I'd hoped to catch them partway up but, delayed by the Ruahine's offer of photographs, I didn't meet them until I found them waiting at the foot of the final climb to the saddle.

Yet more moody magic. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI really like the confusion of scale here. The trees and grasses look almost lilliputian compared with the mountains. I have loved this series of photographs, Pete.
ReplyDeleteKia ora Pete...sturdy and staunch. I concur with EC. Ruahine magic. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteEC, thank you.
ReplyDeleteLisa, those two beech trees really are small and gnarled. It's tough country; to pass through in good conditions (like these, believe it or not) is one thing, to live and grow there quite another. The effort shows.
Kia ora Robb. Every time I post a photograph of the Ruahine I think of you. It means a lot to know you appreciate these.
