Here we are over 900metres above sea level at the summit of the Lindis Pass. Just a little snow, the skies have turned cloudy and a cold misty rain meant we ate our picnic warm and dry in the car.
This is not the sort of place one would want to get lost in. Miles of beautiful nothingness - not even a tree.
And . . . there were reports in the late 1990's of a panther-like feline roaming the hills.It is easy to imagine it is still there . . watching....waiting.....
The first Otago gold rush was in this area in 1861- it was short as the big discovery at Gabriels Gully took the prospectors away.Archaeological remains of the alluvial mining from the 1860s can still be seen off the beaten track.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Sensational scene... almost surreal.... and the history makes it even more impressive. Excellent work on this.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
The mist gives it the mood that it needed LE.
I will bring Bigfoot with me should I ever go prospecting in "them thar' hill." He will handle the Big Feline.
Faved both your photos today.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
I think the lack of trees was one of the first things I noticed. Very little there for wildlife to find useful for building a home or even food to eat. The Dark Side of the Moon, with light! The "panther-like feline" had to do a lot of walking between meals.

Although impressive, I prefer to have an other location for my vacation, Lyn, 😁 . Excellent photography however!

Moody and amazing composition - looks like our road is heading into the spooky looking scene
