When inspired by their beauty, the commitment required to descend canyons can sometimes be forgotten. With this photo, taken while descending Wilsons Creek Canyon in Mt Aspiring National Park, I wanted to show both aspects together by capturing the crystal clear pools and sheer schist sides. Taken with an Olympus Mju 1030WP, f/3.5, 1/30sec and ISO-200.
