Fox glacier III
Posted by jamesy (christchurch, New Zealand) on 12 September 2008 in Landscape & Rural.
another view of fox glacier from the southern road up the side. Cleverly the viewpoint was down then back up a steepish track but we found this one from the side of the road much more to our athletic ability. In case you were wondering we did do the other one as well but the view just wasn't as good
I really enjoy taking photos and would appreciate your feedback so that I can learn as I go. I particularly enjoy photographing birds animals and landscapes

Beautiful natural framing. An amazing view on the glacier. Is that glacier going down to the sea?
13 Sep 2008 12:25am
@akarui: No it doesn't reach the sea. The west coast has a narrow strip of land between the glacier and the sea Thanks for the kind comments
