Hiking Tawhai Falls, part 2
May. 25th, 2024 07:34 amThe Tawhai Falls Track was a short trail. The time we didn't spend hiking the hiking trail we spent enjoy the scenery at the far end. After spending time and making pictures at the falls we... spent more time and made more pictures.

I still didn't have my camera tripod with me (see my discussion of backcountry photography at Taranaki Falls from earlier that day) and on this trek I didn't even have my dual-purpose hiking pole with me; I left it in the car since the trail was so short. Oops. So I had to free-hand taking motion-blur photos of the falls. Some of the pics, as above, turned out pretty well.
In part 1 at Tawhai Falls I mentioned scrambling out along that "trail" on the right side of the picture.

It took me a few days to get the photos from Hawk's camera. That's why part 1 and part 2 are a few days apart. It was worth the wait to get this photo.
