Michael Hunter, Mystical Vale (LANDSCAPE 2025)

Hiking New Zealand's Routeburn Track, it rained for 2 days straight and then the fog lifted and the clouds parted at the most perfect moment. The lighting made the backdrop to Lake Harris feel quite surreal. Captured with Hasselblad X1D II, 80mm lens, ISO 400, f11 at 1/350th.
