Moods of the Mountain

The rules: Photos of Mount Wellington taken from my balcony.

There are plenty of other places I can and will take photos of the mountain, but they will appear elsewhere. These ones have to be taken from home. They pretty much appear in reverse chronological order (so the one at the top is usually the most recent). Some of them are not particularly good photos, but the idea is that they capture the many and varied moods displayed by the mountain.

29 July 2017. A pink sunrise.

The sun, which was rising behind me, first lit up the clouds.

Five minutes later it set the mountain aglow.

And if you look closely at this zoomed in shot, you can just make out some residual snow
dusting the rocks as the rocks of the Organ Pipes exchange their normal
sombre blue-grey hue for a lairy orange-pink.

19 June 2017. Lenticular cloud at sunrise.

8 June 2017. The changing colours of a winter sunrise: 7:31am and 7:37am.

9 May 2017. Morning and afternoon cloud effects: drifty gossamer at 7:30am,
and floating fluffy pillows at 3:05pm.

24 March 2017. The first Bridgewater Jerry of 2017, with the fog flowing down the river
valley between the mountain and me.

26 February 2017. This sunset got Facebook abuzz,
with several of my friends posting their own personal variations on this shot.

9 February 2017. The first for 2017: a little belated but definitely moody.

1 November 2016. Rainbow morning.

29 October 2016. The end of a glorious spring day. Can you tell why I love this place?

11 October 2016. After some foul weather we awake to a glorious but chilly morning.

1 October 2016. The wispy fluff at the summit provides a hint that the rain —
so heavy in the past couple of days — is clearing.

17 September 2016. After a warm and sunny day, things are starting to look more ominous.

7 September 2016. A bright but slightly faded spring morning.
