Seeing the first light of a wonderful day reflected in a heart-shaped pond makes for a pretty good start. The picture was taken at Milford Sound, Fjordlands, New Zealand, on a chilly autumn morning. For a place that gets roughly 360 rainy days a year, I turned out to be pretty lucky!

This picture was taken during an extended trekking tour through the Nepalese Himalayas. Reaching an appropriate altitude, you'll get magically colored glacial lakes. Easiest one of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen!
