Sometimes you just gotta wait...and wait...

The Big Mountain has not been playing nicely on this trip - but last night things started to look positive - as the cloud cover cleared out of the valley and I headed up to Kea point in the hope of getting a nice mountain portrait.

A pesky bank of valley cloud kept regenerating right in front of the summit for about an hour, up until the last 4 or 5 minutes of light, when it cleared and provided this view of the mountain.

I often find that you just have to keep on waiting until the bitter end, as there is nothing worse than seeing a view like this in the rear vision mirror of your car :-)
