Graduation

A year after returning from New Zealand, David graduated from college.

Last Days

David says...
Well, now that I'm back home, the New Zealand adventure is over...for now.
Enjoy these last looks.
Take care to all,
ka kite
David

Did not predict the beauty of our last day

Tussock and glaciers shimmer in the morning sun

On the road again

New Zealand doesn't get any more classic

Huts

Hamilton Hut, a true backcountry palace

Walk-the-wire

The just slightly worn West Harper hut

The cozy (cold) Lagoon Saddle shelter

Dusk in Arthur's realm

Mt. Hamilton

Crazy summit antics

The flat top of Mt Hamilton

Canterbury beyond, see the clouds meet the sea

Essence of mountains

Fresh scree ski powder below!

Cass Saddle

The first of many candlelight dinners

Firebuilding skills put to the test

Above the clouds at Cass Saddle

It's your move, mate

It's steep, let's leave it at that
