Keeping faith for some morning colour we set out on the hike through the Hooker Valley Trail to arrive at hooker glacier a little before first light. Slowly but surely the stars began to fade away under light clouds, which were rolling in right on schedule for sunrise. The evening before we had explored all of the possible compositions and I knew that my sunrise shot would be at the mouth of the frozen lake, which had over night, lightly frozen over into a mirrored thin sheet of ice with incredible reflections of New Zealand highest peak above it. A huge thanks to my good mate Tim Poulton and One Of A Kind and to the other great 6 photographers who made this 6 days one to remember.
