After not sleeping too well last night, I didn't get rolling until after lunch. I decided to drive to Milford Sound. Three years ago I bused down to the sound. There are so many companies offering you so many options to see the sound that you forget driving is an option. Or wonder if it is. Definitely is, and if you like taking pictures of amazing scenery, this gives you the opportunity to pull over whenever you want, which I did very often. I felt like I was in a mail truck.
The drive down to Milford Sound is one of the most amazing drives anyone could ever do. Stunning scenery that includes being surrounded by steep mountain walls at times, great views overlooking valleys and rivers, and a plethora of waterfalls, especially after a rain. Milford Sound gets on average over 20 feet of rain a year. Yes, feet! It can get 10 inches of rain in a day, so waterfalls are common and can be amazing. Here are some pics of the drive down to the sound. They won't do it justice. You'll just have to see it for yourself.

I had no expectations for this pic, but everything fell into place to make it work. There is no filter or edit on this. The blue is a mountain in the background, its color effected by the moisture in the air. The droplets are localized rain, and the lighting of the ground is play between the sun and approaching clouds. As this sheep was maybe 100 yards away, I didn't realize it was looking my way until I viewed the photo that night.
