So it was time for us both to have a short break away from the farm, sheep, cats and work. We decided to take a trip down to Lake Tekapo and go to the Mt John Observatory to see the ‘Dark sky’.
The second day we journeyed to Mt Cook – well we hoped to see the mountain, but as you can see by the photos; it was too snowy and cloudy to see that beautiful mountain. Instead we had to be content to know that she was there, somewhere in the misty mountains.
Lake Pukaki, on the way to Mount Cook provided some more stunning scenery.
Although I could not take photos of the dark night sky, we learnt and saw the amazing sky – Alpha Centauri, Saturn, Neptune and other ‘planets and stars’. A great night and I will look at the night sky in a different light.
