This lone power pole standing in Lake Manapōuri is a remnant of a great NZ engineering feat: the construction of the Manapōuri Underground Power Station in the 1960s.

Supply Bay was established as the primary logistics hub for the project. Because the power station was being built deep underground in a remote cavern with no road access, every piece of heavy machinery, truck, and transformer had to be loaded onto massive barges right here and ferried across the water.

This pole is a piece of the temporary infrastructure left behind.

I wanted to share some footage from my hike the other day, but also give a belated shout-out to the Blindspott fullas for taking out the top spot in The Rock 2000 🍾🥳

So, why not do both?

Proof that men can multitask 😉

Another hike up to one of my favourite spots!
This was taken at around 5am 🥶 but with the help of a long exposure and an 88% moon, the details of this scene really came together nicely 🤩
Might have to put this one on the wall 🖼️

More to come... :)

Yesterday arvo we reached 'T-Shirt Weather' here 😀 🏖

A nice, peaceful scene from last night's clear sky & faint aurora.

I popped out to the back porch and could see some rays, so I shot down to the lake, but by the time I got there it had dropped away...Still, pretty! Always good to see a bunch of tourists hanging around snapping too.

The very full lake really helped bring this scene together (I'm in the lake in gumboots) ⛵️

🌞 We're currently basking in the rare Fiordland phenomenon known as a 'brief interval where water isn't falling sideways out of the sky'...Enjoying it while we can! 😅

Looks like a nice, clear night too for some stargazing, with the possibility of a subtle aurora if predictions ring true!

Nice to get a bit of sun today between the rain, rain, and more rain 🙄

Here are a few single frames I haven't posted before 🖖
