Winter Alps

Christchurch Airport. June 2008. Ajr

And this is the scene I flew away from this morning - snow on the alps viewed from Christchurch Airport

When the Snow Falls

Toward the Southern Alps. June 2008. Ajr.

It snowed across most of the South Island last night. There wasn't much to show for it in Christchurch this morning but further afield, the Southern Alps are covered. This is the view from half way up Scarborough Hill, overlooking Sumner Beach, the estuary and the alps in the distance.
