Ohau many shades of grey !

I converted this photo of Lake Ohau to B/W and think it makes the scene look a bit ominous. The clouds were rolling over the mountains and there was a stiff breeze - and take my word for it the water was very very cold !~
Lake Ohau is a glacial lake of 60 kmē in the Mackenzie Basin of New Zealand's South Island. It is a popular ski-ing region and for you fisherpersons there is plenty of brown and rainbow trout, and some landlocked sockeye salmon.
The literal meaning of the Maori name Ohau (pronounced Oh How) is "Windy Place".
Thanks for your views - comments very welcome and always appreciated.

Now my mind is made. We pack, book a sea passage and come to pay you a brief visit. Say... five or maximum six weeks, not more than three months in any case.

We only come to view the views you know.

It looks like it is living up to its name, LE.
B/W does radiate the cold. (Is that a oxymoron?)
Beautiful work. I could do with or without the frame.

Holy Mackinoly, what a stunner. I'm sure it's beautiful and full of blues in color but the emotional response is terrific in b&w. Also, the pano lends itself well to the broad perspective of the scene. No snapshot, this one. 5 stars out of 5. -Nik

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

"Oh HOW" fascinating with those clouds, the snow tipped cliffs and the choppy lake. Looks great in B/W Lyn.
