Lake PukAki, near the Twizel in New Zealand, is famous for its views of Aoraki/Mount Cook. This area was made famous by the movies “The Hobbit” and “Lord of the Rings”, both of which featured scenes filmed in this area. In this shot, the setting sun illuminates the Southern Alps range including Mt. Cook with Alpenglow in the moments just before is dips below the horizon. When I see this kind of scene it is almost as if God whispers, “Watch This!” as He puts a finishing touch on the day.
