Mt Cook sunset, a photo from Southland, South Island

Photographer's Note

Mt Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand - 3735 m(12254 ft), and is located in Aoraki Mount Cook National Park on the South Island.
The picture was taken from Mount Cook Village - home to most tourists in this area.
Try to find a stone face in the top part of the peak - it's pretty scary. Or maybe it's just my sick imagination...

Disculpe por mi espanol malo, pero nesesito practicar, pues me voy a traducir todo de arriba.
Mt Cook es la mas alta montana en Nueva Zelanda - 3735 m (12254 ft), situada en Aoraki Mount Cook Parque Nacional en la Isla del Sur. Saque esta fotografia de Mount Cook Village - la casa de casi todo turista en este region.
Prueben encontrar una cara en la superior parte de la montana - es un poco espantada. O esto es solo mi imaginacion enferma...

Super shot Henryk. It looks to be taken from a similar view point to the one I posted recently but you have captured that superb late evening light which lifts the shot.

Hi Henryk - fantastic light and awe inspiring scenery, excellent work.

Superb colors ! I like the wind on the top creating clouds of snow (I guess).

Beautiful picture and beautiful mountain. I really like the warm colors from the setting sun.

No I can see the stone face too! Like something out of that movie The Frighteners.

Great photo and lighting.

Witaj Henryku !
Góry w zachodz±cym s³oñcu to wdziêczny temat lecz dla wielu fotografuj±cych zbyt trudny. Tobie uda³o siê to rewelacyjnie. Jest biel, czerñ i ogieñ zachodz±cego S³oñca. Kolory trafione. Dziêkujê za to, ¿e szczytu nie umie¶ci³e¶ centralnie w kadrze :-)) Dobra i chyba przemyslana robota.
Pozdrawiam - W³odek

Άγρια ομορφιά!
Το ρόδινο φως του ήλιου είναι εκείνο που δίνει τόνο στην σύνθεση. Η οξύτητα και η επιλογή του κοντινού πλάνου στην κορυφή είναι πολύ καλά. Για όσους αγαπούν τα βουνά, η θέα αυτή είναι ιδιαίτερα αγαπημένη.

Πάντα τέτοια!
