Glückwunsch zu Deinem großartigen Foto - LIKE 1 - Es hätte mehr Beachtung verdient - Beste Grüße ALLWO -

This is Lake Wakatipu looking north towards Glenorchy with Mt Earnslaw on the far right, Mt Alfred in the middle (the one with no snow on it) and Pigeon Island in the foreground. The marker should be placed furthe up the lake past where it bends northwards. Beautiful picture though! Cheers Ed.

Love the photo, the black and white gives it so much more depth and character! Remember lots of days like this down there!! Ed

Great photo but the peak in the picture is Walter Peak and not the Remarkables. Ed

The high point in the clouds at the back is Single Cone, highest point of the Remarkables. The two passes to the right lead over to the Remarkables ski area.

The East and West peaks are hidden in the cloud, below them is the Earnslaw Glacier below which in the centre is a very active avalanche path.

This photo was taken in August 2005 and there is remarkably little snow for this time of year. The saddle is the obvious dip in the middle and to the right of it is Conical Hill.

This panoramic photo was taken from Te Heu Heu peak on Mt Ruapehu, in the foreground is Tukino and at the very back to the left of centre is Tahurangi, the highest point of Ruapehu and the North Island at 2797m.

This is the memorial built in 1989 to comemmorate the loss of over 150 lives on Xmas Eve 1953 when the Wellington to Auckland Express plunged into the swollen Whangaehu River just after it had been destroyed by a lahar (volcanic mudflow) from the crater lake of Mt Ruapehu. The grey material in the background is the result of the March 2007 lahar which passed by with minimal damage.

Thanks Tim, it was a nice surprise to see this view after climbing most of the way up Ben Lomond in the drizzle and rain! These cloud inversions are quite common in the Queenstown area in the winter.
