This shot was taken around 10p the night before our climb. As the summer has gone on and I have nosed further South, the daylight hours have stretched from roughly 5a to 10p each day.

Waiting to start Mt Cook
Picked up dad in Christchurch 3 days ago, on the 27th. We got ourselves to Mt Cook Village in a day's drive, spent another day planning the approach, putting together last-minute gear and packing. Last night, was beautiful and clear and I got some great pictures of sunset light on the summit, which I will post later when I have a better internet connection.
Right now it's white out conditions on the mountain, so we are waiting for the the weather to clear before we head in to the high-mountain hut (base camp). There is a big high-pressure system on it's way in from the West that should hover over the island for at least a few days, so fingers crossed, it looks like we will celebrate New Years on Mt. Cook.
Stay tuned...
