Snowy Games
This is a shot that I'd been planning for about 6 months since my last visit there, but unfortunately the West Coast is often affected by nasty weather. Still, I waited for my opportunity.
Luckily, the weather was kind to me as I made my way up for the night. The snow that settled here made this shot far better than I had ever imagined.

entry description
Taken from this iconic New Zealand alpine hut, the night time view from Brewster Hut is one that rivals the best in the world. The climb up to this spot is no easy task, with up to 4 hours of climbing up tree roots to this view. Add in the extra hassle of 10kg worth of camera gear and required alpine equipment and it becomes a very demanding climb.This is a shot that I'd been planning for about 6 months since my last visit there, but unfortunately the West Coast is often affected by nasty weather.
