Aoraki/Mount Cook Sunset - New Zealand During the 2 days of rain and storms, there was a temporary reprieve on the second day when for just an hour, the skies partly cleared. Sunset was approaching, so rushing out for a quick drive, we were able to capture this scene before once again it poured down on us.
Mount Cook/Aoraki Peak - New Zealand Sick and tired of just staying inside while it rained, we decided to done our wet season hiking gear and once again explore this marvelous region. While we were, as were our cameras, drenched in water, the scene to be seen was spectacular. Looking over the landscape while perched high, we were afforded great views of the mountain range and little rivers which had started to grow in size.
