New Zealand Valley view below Mount Wakefield
The way to Mount Wakefield offers stunning views to both sites of the valley: Mueller Lake and Tasman Glacier. Up to the viewpoint is a steep way, but super worth it. Once you are up and out of the bush line you can enjoy several beautiful views into the valleys.
Photography Tips
Place a person for scale. Use the out coming river veins from the glacier lake as a leading line in between the person. Play with the light and shadows.
