By Dennis Radermacher

On our first tramp of the New Year, we pitched our tents by these lovely tarns on the Lewis Pass tops. Inspiration for the trip had come from an article in the November featuring the Lewis Tops. It is a great destination for a quick overnighter and photo excursions.

Camera Fuji X-E1, ISO200, 18mm, f11, 1/70s.
