Just one more photo before bed. This is one of the last shots I took today. Just five minutes later the sun had left this mountain (I think its Mount Robert but have to check the map to be sure). As the sun prepared to set the cloud seemed to simply materialise above the mountain, as if preparing its snow for the imminent drop in temperature about to happen.
If I was commissioned to redesign the New Zealand flag, these are the colours I would use. The blue of the sky, the white of the snow caps, the rich, roasted red/brown of the alpine grasses, and of course the deep cool,solid green of the native bush. To me, these are the colours of this country.
