Hi Humayun,
Short of leaving the lens cap on, it would have to be near impossible
to take a lousy shot from the top of the gondola at Queenstown.
It simply is one of the grandest views in the world.
Having said that, like the mountains, your shot is remarkable and
a thing of beauty.
You are right about how bitterly cold it can get standing around up there!
Hope you took the drive down to Paradise and the Dart Valley.
Best regards
Gary
