Geology Picture of the Week, July 31-August 6, 2005: Mount Cook (and a bonus)
Radical Photography ^

Posted on 08/04/2005 11:17:22 AM PDT by cogitator

I was just wondering what the name of the highest mountain in New Zealand was, and I looked. In retrospect, I should have been able to guess.

I would be unsurprised if Mount Cook is in the background sometime during the "Lord of the Rings" movie trilogy, even though they filmed the snow trek scenes on Ruapehu.

And since I discovered through the process another nice outdoor photography site (link in header), below is a picture of a place I saw once, Porcupine Falls in the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming (my family was driving to Yellowstone NP).



TOPICS: Arts/Photography; Education; History; Music/Entertainment; Outdoors; Science
KEYWORDS: bighorns; cook; falls; highest; mount; newzealand; peak; porcupine
Runoff can be pretty.

By the way, with this posting I'm going to end my practice of posting a "Link Post" on the News/Activism side of FR. It's been slapped down by the administrators as a duplicate post too many times. So, if you like the pictures, tell your friends who aren't on the ping list and invite them to send a message to me to join.
