Red divide

Photo by Peter Laurenson

The main divide of New Zealand's Southern Alps, viewed from near Pioneer Hut (2,200m) on the west, most weather-exposed side, at dawn. Mount Tasman, New Zealand's second highest peak, is far right. Both weather and snow conditions weren't much good for climbing on this trip, but this sunrise was a nice consolation - a bluebird morning would not have been as spectacular / \nNikon D7000, a stitch of 3 landscape shots, F6.3, 1 sec, ISO 100, 27mm / Winner, alpine landscapes category and overall winner (John Harrison Memorial Trophy), NZAC national photo competition 2014
