It was the start of winter when I camped at the National Park campgrounds of Aoraki/Mt Cook.
My walk to Hooker Lake rewarded me with stunning views in waning daylight of Mt Sefton (Takiroa), standing at 3151m and by far my favourite hill in this area. I just love the raw ‘‘thereness’ of it. The windy night that followed this benign looking evening, was accompanied by the regular crash of avalanches falling off Takiroa’s slopes;they kept me awake and in awe of the power of nature.
