2005/03 Queenstown and Milford

New Zealand , Queenstown and Milford

In 2005 I bought my first D70 just before visiting the south island .
Patterns in the mud .



My first pictures were mainly snapshots ...




Milford
sound .


Some forest scenery ...



With 1500mm of rain per annum there are many waterfalls around milford ...





As I say , these were mostly snapshots with my first dslr .... [ some were taken with the Panasonic DMC-LC5 ]






This is "Paradise valley " , a few km from Queenstown .



Another one of Paradise valley .







In Queenstown itself ...




That's a triple storey boat next to that mountain ....



Autumn is a good time to visit Queenstown .



you can also cruise on the TSS Earnslaw in Queenstown ...




Deer heights Queenstown ..







one way street ?



The "remarkables " [ they run in a perfect north-south line ....



This was apparently a prop for a Disney movie a couple of years ago ...[ "the escape' or something like that ]



This is the 'road' to the beginning of the Milford track , only accessible by boat at both ends . More pictures of this track later ....



These were all taken with the DMC-LC5 , my hiking camera back then ...
The beginning of the track ..




In quite a few places the track is quite muddy so it has to be built up



There is plenty of strange fungus around ....



the first two days is a walk up a valley .



it's pretty wet with 1500mm rain per annum


The first two days were wet and the waterfalls were good . On the third day the clouds opened up and as we climbed to the top of the pass we had good scenery .
