Waimanu Sunrise #5

This waterfall is a popular hiking destination, about 1 hour from our camp.

Who wants to be here right now?

Taken yesterday morning before we broke camp and paddled out. Most of the weekend was overcast, but we did wake up to sun on our last morning.

This is taken from the same spot as the 2003 sunrise shot, but with a wider lens. The shadow on the valley wall looks almost identical in the two shots, though.

Jim Moran says:

Wow! So much clearer than the 2003 shot. Is that due to better weather or equipment (or perhaps both) Pete?

Even the clouds in this shot are in perfect position.

Spectacular glass-like effect on the water. The almost natural symmetry of the landscape is very interesting. A very arresting image Pete. Nice work and play. :~))
