Photo of our highest peak, Aoraki, or "Sky Piercer", on the foreground is a Glacial melt lake with some icebergs floating around, it was a strange sight in the height of summer, and not all that great an elevation (900m).

Nice shot. Looks like there wasn't much snow up on top that year. Brings back good memories: I must get back there some day.

Thanks for sharing

Thank you -- it was taken while I was helping out with a workshop led by a Norge-born photographer and his wife...Geir and Kate Jordahl.

PS...was "Norge-born" even close to a proper term for someone born in Norway? LOL!

Ah, your bringing back memories. I lived on Wonderstump Road and spent many hours on Mill Creek. Can't post any here cause they are MF. This is a wonderful photo taken in a difficult place to work. Though surrounded by stupendous beauty and grandeur, creating a unified composition with a related focal point is challenging in the density of this forest. Bravo.

Thanks guys. Picture was taken after a few weeks of pretty hot weather, I'm sure the snow will start building up again very soon.

Thank you. Over thirty years of photographing in the depth of the redwood forest has been exactly that -- bringing compositional order out of chaos. And for me the key has been the light...using the forms created by light, forms seemingly independent of the objects reflecting the light.

Vaughn

PS...Wonderstump Road! Wonderful!
