Today must have been one of the best days of gliding ever<\/p><\/div>\n

Cumulus clouds everywhere<\/p><\/div>\n

Ok, maybe not right here, close to Mt Cook<\/p><\/div>\n

But pretty much everywhere else, that’s Lake Tekapo in the distance<\/p><\/div>\n

What a spectacular scenery!<\/p><\/div>\n

There’s just enough room between the clouds to fly through<\/p><\/div>\n

Crossing Lake Tekapo to the east, Lake Pukaki in the distance<\/p><\/div>\n

Easterly creeping in<\/p><\/div>\n

Two Thumb Range<\/p><\/div>\n

Cloudy Peak Range<\/p><\/div>\n

And then I noticed this beauty!<\/p><\/div>\n

To me it looks like a sad (tired?) looking puma<\/p><\/div>\n

To make today’s flight a little longer I ended with another quick out and return to Lake Sumner under this street of clouds<\/p><\/div>\n
