High up in the southern alps of nz

Heading up the valley…. on the left the Forbes range.

The Rees valley winds back into the distance. What is really amazing is how the shape of the landscape changes the further into the valley you go. We visited this valley twice once on an overcast afternoon and then again the next day which happened to be bright blue skies…..

 

 

 

 

This is as far as we got in our not for wheel drive rent a car…..bitterly cold, incredibly still … the bush was amazing.
