Elaine and myself set off up Mikes Pass on Saturday morning morning on a very hot morning. Our plan was to hike up to the contour path and overnight in a spot where we could photograph the Cathedral Spur coming off the Escarpment. After a 4pm shower under a waterfall (Elaine will tell you that story!!!!) we continued a short distance to a ridge for suitable photography.
Rain drops were falling every now and then...and during the night would continue at times quite hard. At 5pm we poured ourselves a sun downer, watching the ever changing light play before our eyes. It is times like this that will forever remain etched in our minds forever. Better than any TV or movie or anything else, this was just plain awesome! This photo was taken at 5:39 pm....click on these photos for a real view.
A back lit silhouette is very different to a sunrise/front lit mountain. It was moody and ever changing, actually every 5 mins it would be different. At one time a huge sun ray shone through the clouds saying "I am who I am" Wow what majestic presence. At 6:39 another light display came into play...we had to haul our camera's out and capture this mood:
What an amazing time we had and then it was time for a second whiskey :)
That shower was something else - I was a rather reluctant participant ( hate cold water)and Richard had to be very persuasive -
