A minor "Southern Alp" (known as Mt Hutt - ski field) by maggiemae

A minor "Southern Alp" (known as Mt Hutt - ski field)

Not one of the higher mountains in this range but a mere foothill. The sun struck a certain ridge on this mountain and I zoomed in using the car as a tripod. After looking at this later, we identified this as Mt Hutt and the ski field can just been seen!

Three good things;
1. I'm going to get a haircut - need a new look!
2. Scenic trip down the centre of Canterbury towards home.
3. Plenty of power points. Our lives depend on so many batteries but fortunately not needing a pacemaker at this point.

@espyetta Its nice to see what you have written Marybeth! I just saw the mountain!
June 16th, 2014  
@maggiemae my brain must be weird...because often, when I see a photo, a word pops in my head. Or a phrase. But usually a word. Or sometimes, a feeling hits me, but that is more 'normal" I think.
June 16th, 2014  
and, btw, I see these tiny lines going up it....is that a ski lift? Or the cable cars you took a pic of/from the other day? Or what?
June 16th, 2014  
@espyetta I'm like that too when looking at a photo - a phrase pops in my mind and after a small hesitation, thats what I put down. You can see the ski lifts here - the cable car was in another part of the South Island.
June 17th, 2014
