One of the awesome things about driving to Queenstown, is the scenery en route.
As I approached my destination, the lush greenery of the Murchison forest started to give way to a very stark landscape, with mountains completely devoid of trees.
I took the picture here about 20km or so out of Queenstown, and the light parts on the mountain are not snow, as one might expect, but rather bare rock, and the darker parts are a combination of dirt and low growing shrubs and grass- there are no trees at all. It was a pretty weird experience to be surrounded by these stark mountains.
