View from the top
Nothing beats climbing to the top of Pukemokemoke on a crisp, winter day. Unless it’s sitting on a bench while the husband does the last assault on his own.
It was a good thing he took the camera with him, and so was able to share the view.
First, we had to pay our respects to this fine looking chap, who was standing guard near the start of the track:
The view northwards:
With the camera on full zoom, Hamilton didn’t seem so far away:
Neither did Te Awamutu:
Te Aroha looked imposing as always:
At the log hauler site, we spotted this fungus:
A grand walk was had by all, including the one who didn’t make it to the top!
Wonderful photos. What a superb day for a Pukemokemoke outing and photo taking. You have inspired me to make a return visit on a day that hopefully will be as fine.
Let us know when and we’ll meet you with a thermos! I might even make it all the way to the very top…
What is this, supposed to be an easy walk in a very special Reserve. Think the editor may need to get on a fitness programe. Great photoes Great woody shot. Love that bird
(Actually, I go to the top often enough. Someone had to look after the chocolate, after all!)
More photos of the area would be appreciated if you can. Great to see these ones. From an ex-local now in Scotland. Keep up the good work one and all.
