Avalanche peak

Today we had an amazing trip in the southern alps. We were lucky and woke up to clear blue skies and sunshine today. The trip we walked were called the Avalanche peak, it was a really steep track. We had to climb around 1000 meters to get to the top, but the view was just incredeble there. It was not much wind either so we could actually eat lunch at the top and enjoy the view. You had a 360 degree view, and there was just mountains as far as you could see. It was also pretty cool because on the top there were a lot of parrots. Not exactly what you expect to see on a top of a mountain:) They are called Kea and are really pretty, but because people are feeding them so much they are starting to depend people. So they wasn't exactly shy, if you didn't watch your lunch the Kea's would definitively eat it. I think the pictures will speak for it self. It was really amazing!

I kinda got the LotR feeling when I was up there. My precious got this shoot as I was dreaming of alves and hobbits.
