This image was born of a repeat visit. I’d first visited this location one evening when staying overnight at Milford Sound. The journey here is an adventure in itself, being two hours away from the closest town and having to cross a mountain pass along the way. The first evening there, the sky decided to play spoil sport and the scene was quite flat. That meant waking up early the next morning and braving the bitter cold to try again. And oh man did the sky deliver this time! Insane clouds and magnificent colours! I'm glad I didn't sleep in.
