Hoar Frost in Central Otago

It was a frosty morning today in Central Otago.  A hoar-frosty morning.  The first one I've been lucky enough to see and capture a few photos of.  There was an inversion running up the Clutha and as it was clearing it left whiteness in its wake.

Autumn in Central Otago

I recently had the good fortune to drive form Dunedin to Wanaka just in time to see the last of the autumn colours.

I stopped at Butchers Dam just outside of Alexandra where the lake was still, clear and reflective.  A very rare occurrence in these parts.  The week before I had driven through and the colours were bright and crisp, they had faded somewhat after the weekends rain, but still beautiful anyway.






I also stopped at Cromwell in time to see this beautiful days end.  Again this stillness of the Dunstan is rarely ever seen.  I think this is the only time I've seen it quite this calm and I've been driving this route for a couple of years now
