After a day exploring Tongariro National Park and getting my trigger finger on I arrived to this DOC campsite later than expected but continued to be seduced by the clear mountain light and found myself knee deep in this icy mountain stream surrounded by alpine forest. With the froth of the potential image on offer, I hardly noticed that my feet where turning blue as I framed up the shot. The resulting photograph represents the clean green New Zealand  concept more than any other that I have taken and makes me feel a deep sense of calm.
