Landscape Pictures
Words can barely describe the beauty of the scenery we encountered on our way to Glenorchy from Queenstown, New Zealand. A few minutes waiting by the roadside saw the skies open up to reveal a nice soothing blue, turning the already splendid scenery up a further notch — spectacular! I am at a loss for a better title for this shot… 😛
The Chasm (located along Milford Road) is a spectacular waterfall where the Cleddau River has scoured its way through solid rock. We were told that this is a “must-stop” area by our hotel staff. The waterfall was not as spectacular as I imagined it to be although we did manage to take some interesting pictures. The above is one of the shots I caught. I was lucky to catch the rainbow of colours caused by refraction of sunlight through the Chasm’s spray.
We travelled early on our way to Milford Sound as we had to arrive there by noon to catch our cruise (and also because we knew that we would be making lots of scenic stops along the way!). The 119km road trip takes about 2 hours to travel although by our estimates, we took at least 4 hours 😛 The above scene is one of the reasons why 😀 I can’t recall the exact name of this view point along Milford Road although many other drivers decided to make this their scenic stop too.
