Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes time and annoys the pig.


So yesterday it was snowing up on Mount Wellington. I took a few snaps in the morning, but didn't have the necessary equipment to transfer the images across from the camera on hand.

Above is a bit of a zoom in on the Organ Pipes, and below is a broader view from the fire escape at work.

These were taken at around 8 am, I've not been able to get any more because the damn thing has been shrouded in cloud ever since!

very nice pic!

Megan said...

The post title took me on a whole Lord of the Flies trip, for some crazy reason...

Nice photos, though.

Roddy said...

Did you encourage Henry to venture forth to the summit? Or was christmas enough for him?
There is definately something magical about Wellington covered in snow.

Jackie said...

That first photo is brilliant. I thought it was crashing waves to start with.

freefalling said...

I agree.
That is a magnificent photo!!

Kris said...

Colette, it's a small world after all!

Kris said...

Candie, thanks to my zoom.

Kris said...

Megan, my home is a bit Lord of the Flies at the moment.

Kris said...

Roddy, Henry has been put off by his snowstorm adventure.

Kris said...

Jackie, global warming!

Kris said...

FF, does it snow in Ararat?

yamini said...

The pictures are alluring!!!! Do send us some more when the snow is settled.

Baino said...

Wow Kris, it looks gorgeous. Never realised there was a tessilated pavement on Mt Wellington. Last time I was there I had the chicken pox . .probably why I didn't actually appreciate it!

KL said...

The first picture seems like rows of copper plats with some sort of salt depositions on them. The second picture is really nice.

From your title, it seems you were frustrated with taking pics!?

That first shot is breathtaking! Ansel Adams could only dream of handling color so well!

Kris said...

Yamini, the snow has melted!

Kris said...

Baino, dinosaurs farting. That’s what caused it!

Kris said...

KL, people climb up there!

Kris said...

USelaine, Ansel took some good ones. It’s fair to say that he had a fair canvas to work with though…

yamini said...

Oh Nooo!!!

Kris said...

Yamini, it is all rain today. The snow will be back soon enough.
