On Cloud Nine At Lake Pukaki

We caught some spectacular displays from Mother Nature during our trip to New Zealand. This impressive display of clouds was taken at Lake Pukaki while on our way to Mount Cook Village (you can see Mount Cook in the background here). A polarizing filter helped to increase the overall saturation in the skies while the turquoise-blue of the lake was a result of natural glacial or rock flour. Dad has coincidentally an almost exact version of this same picture although we were using separate tripods and equipment!
