Waiting For The Sun
A bitterly cold morning beside a fractured and frozen Lake Mackenzie on the Routeburn Track. The final journey to the lake involved a few kilometres of tramping through fresh snow and hoar frost, with night temperatures reaching past -10. The loud and unusual sound of the ice sheet cracking and contracting would echo throughout the valley all night.
Winter Moon
For almost two years I’ve wanted to photograph this great peak in the Fiordland wilderness. After a few attempts, I was finally able to gaze upon its summit which was right in the core of a winter freeze, resulting in temperatures below -10 celsius. Topo maps can help with scouting but finding this icy stream with trees framing the peak was a pleasant surprise. Shortly after sunset, the full moon arose, bringing life and light upon the frozen landscape. In this day and age, it’s a real privilege to still be able to stand in places that very few ever have, if any at all.
