They are situated amongst an impressive landscape of mountains, lakes, forest and tussock grassland. It requires a 2 hour gravel road to reach the Lake track and then an hours walk through thick forest before you even see  the lake

  • In all my years of phtography this view/location gave me the biggest rush, just image the scenry I couldnt caputre in this frame.  I walked for 2 hours before i glimpsed this view, it was so unexpected, to be honest I was lost I thought I was heading soewhere else, but took a wrong turn.The enormity of this vista just cannot be captured in a camera frame.... truelly amaxing,oh by the way this is the far end of Lake Tasman (where the Tasman glacier/moraine meets the lake itself in Mt Cook National Park) after having walked Ball pass  (with no walking track) and ignoring all the avalanche warnings!)....may not be my most favotrite image in terms of the audience reaction but incredibly  special to me  given the entire eperience
