Last week Dougal and I headed up the West Coast to visit cousin Deirdre and Murray, and we stopped off at Fox Glacier to stretch the legs with a walk to the glacier on the last day of perfect weather...
Here we look across a bulge from a heavy snow fall several years ago to the delightful snow grass terraces of the Chancellor Hut (Built 1929-1931). I must go back there soon...it's one of the most delightful settings in the Southern Alps...
Nothing thrills me quite as much as a roadie on the West Coast. It's like stepping back in time when you contemplate Sat,. night on the main street of lovely Whataroa...
With not many deciduous trees to delight a landscape photographer on the West Coast, and overnight torrential rain that set in at Reefton [yes, the name probably has it's origins in mining], we headed to dryer climes over Lewis Pass, and found our gold...

Ahh, lovely photos as usual Donald. I'm off to Hanmer Springs this weekend which is lovely at this time of year but it'll probably be raining by the looks of it. Never mind, it's a blob-with-the-dogs time.
And because I like the photos so much on Southern light, I've "borrowed" one to go on my blog, and put a link to your site.
