    Not hot, nor cold. The suns out, little traffic. Lots of curves, and nice scenery. Otira viaduct near Arthur's Pass.

    What a fantastic capture. You must have been at quite a vantage point to snag this awesome view/vista. Beautifully done and thanks for sharing. :) Tony

    Great image Gary, looks like a great road for a drive. I'm a bit surprised though that you crazy Kiwi's haven't put a bunji tower on it yet. After all, it is on the South Island, the home of adventure.

    My wife and I are seriously thinking of doing a road trip to uNZud next year. Hire a motor home and drive, just drive and take photo's.

    By any chance did you manage to visit Skippers canyon on your trip to NZ?

    No we were on a cruise, so just went round the outside. That's why we want to do the road trip, see more of the sights at our own speed and not be dictated to by the tour operators.
