A deteriorating frontal system moving across New Zealands Southern Alps…
Perfect weather to chase for that extra drama that lifts an image and imparts a story to the viewer.
Well that was the theory… in actuality it was all mist glad ridges, damp grey light and a miserable drizzling rain.
But you can only sit in your nice warm car for so long watching the rain drift across the car window ;-) so with few sighs and the odd mutter I levered myself up, out and away from the car. A short walk, a stumble or two across slick tree roots and mossy boulders and I was hunkered down under a little footbridge happily (ish) snapping the odd frame of a little step waterfall.
Often the high expectations at the start of a day can be left along way short of the end result, but, all in all I was quite happy to come away with more than a wet pair of boots.. :-)
The step waterfall..
