The Cloud Piercer Rests

All,

Sorry for so many posts on this sub-forum! I've got a bit of replying to do to my other threads and I promise not to post any more until they're dealt with.

Aoraki the Cloud Piercer (Mount Cook) imaged moments after the sun had set off the west coast of New Zealand. You can see the last light illuminating the top third of Aoraki.

I have never scampered up a mound or a hill composed of loose morraine as fast as I did this evening in the freezing cold to capture the last few rays of light bathing this almost mythical place.

Aoraki is the tallest mountain in New Zealand, standing about 3.8 km tall. I wish to climb it some day.

As per the norm, slightly higher resolution available here.

Thank you for looking, and any comments, critique, etc.
