Scoop Images: Glen Mary
More images of the environs of the most photogenic mountain village in the world taken by Norman Mackay .
Norman writes: “Its been a while since I last sent you some real photos, ie High Country New Zealand scenery. The scene has been somewhat dominated by the awful tragedy the happened in New York on the 11th September. The world is in dire need of some good news, and some pleasing views on life. Living at Lake Ohau in the south island of New Zealand, I can provide such relief with breath taking beauty that only exists in a pace such as this.”
1. Glen Mary - taken when my
neighbour and myself had a day trip into the scenic Dobson
valley. The photo was taken from the road leading to Glen
Lyon station, which is the only High Country station on that
side of Lake Ohau. It is very remote and extremely
beautiful. Permission must be obtained from the owner of
Glen Lyon station before you can drive into the Dobson. The
owner being Ken Wigley whose family started Mt Cook Airlines
earlier this century.
2. Splendid Mt Glen Mary - is a
perfect mirror type of effect that you get on occasions here
at Lake Ohau. It’s not very often that you see such a
perfect mirror image, and I was lucky to be able to capture
such a perfect shot. I have several other similar photos
taken on the same day, each of equal perfection and
beauty.
