Aoraki NP, New Zealand

Scouring my archives for more New Zealand landscapes. Thoughts? I personally like the scale, even the Southern Alps are dwarfed by this impressive cloud at sunrise.

Canon 5DMkII, 24-105mm

I believe i've only seen a sky like this once in my area of the country, but not quite as dramatic as this. very nice.

Between the landscape, sky, cloud and light.
That is one incredible image.

The massive cloud is wonderfully surreal - and what a marvelous punch of colour, nicely balanced by the smaller clouds over the mountain peaks. This is such a strong image, I almost didn't look at the large version, but so glad I did!

Wow ... looks like a comet shooting down onto the mountains. Great how that by itself wonderful cloud is illuminated here.

A stunning capture Kah Kit. The red of that massive cloud is all the more dynamic against the blue of the sky. A gorgeous and grand mountain scenic.

Wow, I really like the placement of all the elements.
It works for an intriguing flow.
That cloud color is quite powerful!
