Fox Glacier, a photo from West Coast, South Island

Photographer's Note

Leaving the Fox Glacier road, if you turn left up a single road around the mountain side, you can get great views of the glacier between the rata trees, this opening was my favourite. Great morning.
Mike.

It's tight, it's powerfull, the photo perfeclty transmits the sizes of the wall, the depth of the valley... I really Like it.

Hi Mike and Gail. Beautiful light and a lovely, vibrant palette. The vegetation is judiciously used to create a charming foil for the majesty and power of the glacier.My compliments and commiseration at the mean-spirited response by so many. Klaudio.

Another great picture of your trip, you have some gems ! I must echo Klaudio's thoughts, so many viewings, so few responses. Delightful colours, well controlled light, in the height of the sun, I guess, and a great view. For me, a VP a metre to the right would be better still, but I know ( I know ! ) its not always possible. best wishes Martin.
