. . . but this snow will never melt.
Southern Alps, New Zealand, close to where Sir Edmund Hilary did his early climbing. I would like to say I climbed up there to capture this - but of course I didn't :)
Taken with Canon 450D with the help of a bit of zoom.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Impressive and beautiful Lyn.
This image would be an excellent entry for both the Wednesday B&W challenge and the current contest. So don't miss this opportunity my friend, lol.
Good Luck with it!

Great capture, Lyn.. It certainly appears to be at a very high elevation.
Good on you, mate.

The way you have presented this, it sure looks like you were up there! Outstanding capture, Lyn. I'm glad you got this shot before the sun melted all the snow! lol.

I spotted over half a dozen crevasses indicating possible future avalanches. Like a lionfish, a silverback skunk, or a sea anemone... beautiful but deadly. Being the queen of black & white, Lyn, you sure know how to submit 'em. Very nice.

This shot was a bit difficult being that you had to be careful not to let brightness of the snow wash out the rest of the image. Good job.
