On the last day of a long weekend trip to Aoraki Mount Cook National Park, I awoke to an eerie quiet. As I pulled back the curtains I could see snow falling around the village in the brightening morning light. Delaying my departure somewhat, I made the most of the opportunity to explore the first section of the Hooker Valley track as well as some areas in the village. As I walked the track, I cast my head from left to right and sometimes looking back to where I’d just walked – looking for photographic opportunities. With a steadily thickening blanket of snow on the ground, I spotted these three Matagouri against a small hill in the background that had almost disappeared in whiteout conditions. Matagouri are NZ’s only native shrub to feature thorns – though you could barely see them through the snow on this morning. Choosing a longer exposure to allow a view of the falling snow, I set the camera up to record the scene. It was a magical morning indeed!

Shipping and Handling
