    Sunshine gave way to thick clouds over Doubtful Sound itself.: by taylortreks, Views[351]
         		 Power lines led away from the station at the head of the Lake and on up the adjacent ridge.: by taylortreks, Views[195]
         		 Here, it appeared as if a giant had tried to use a cleaver to chop off a hunk of hillside.: by taylortreks, Views[211]
         		 Including a glimpse of the first of many waterfalls.: by taylortreks, Views[205]
         		 We had brilliant sunshine on our journey across the Lake.: by taylortreks, Views[191]
     
    Morning kayakers braved the cold waters of Lake Manapouri.: by taylortreks, Views[271]
         		 A low scud layer provided a nice contrast and really set off the snow-capped mountain peaks.: by taylortreks, Views[196]
         		 Snowy mountains peek from clouds as we depart Manapouri.: by taylortreks, Views[172]
         		 Sun just starting to peek over the ridge as the day 'officially' begins.: by taylortreks, Views[311]
         		 Stunning rose and orange highlights herald the imminent sunrise.: by taylortreks, Views[319]
     
    Alexandra dozes before dawn.: by taylortreks, Views[300]
         		 More sunlight reflected off the clouds begins to brighten the day.: by taylortreks, Views[325]
         		 Clouds light up with the first rays of sunshine.: by taylortreks, Views[299]
         		 Blue skies and white clouds made a picture perfect end to our cycling adventure!: by taylortreks, Views[360]
         		 There was now more sun that cloud here in the middle of the afternoon; however, there are still plenty of rocks along the Trail.: by taylortreks, Views[358]
     
    Chatto Creek provided a much needed stop for lunch, rest, and water (although other liquids were available at the fully licensed historic pub!).: by taylortreks, Views[315]
         		 A short ride from Lauder to Omakau. We were making progress but our legs were getting tired already!: by taylortreks, Views[326]
         		 Lauder Station DOES refer to a train station rather than a sheep farm.: by taylortreks, Views[213]
         		 Our first food stop - the cafe at Lauder Station. We still had a long ways to go before reaching our destination at Clyde.: by taylortreks, Views[348]
         		 This crossing was more open that the one at Poolburn Gorge.: by taylortreks, Views[173]
     
    More info on the Manuherikia Bridge.: by taylortreks, Views[219]
         		 The Manuherikia Bridge is curved rather than straight. It's the 2nd longest bridge on the Rail Trail.: by taylortreks, Views[253]
         		 Downriver, the land flattened out into rolling plains and fields.: by taylortreks, Views[212]
         		 We stopped just past the tunnel to look back upriver at the rocky terrain.: by taylortreks, Views[223]
         		 As per usual, the nearby message board provided key info about the tunnel.: by taylortreks, Views[235]
     
    This is the first of several tunnels along this portion of the Rail Trail. For safety, we walked our bikes through the tunnel.: by taylortreks, Views[188]
         		 There were plenty of colorful trees to mark the running water in the burn.: by taylortreks, Views[197]
         		 It may not look like it from here, but trust me from the middle of the bridge to the burn IS 121 feet straight down!: by taylortreks, Views[198]
         		 The adjoining message board provided vital statistics on the bridge, as well as some Maori facts related to the Pool Burn (or stream).: by taylortreks, Views[173]
         		 Our first stop was at the Poolburn Viaduct (Bridge). This is the highest bridge on the entire Rail Trail.: by taylortreks, Views[194]
     
    We began the tour at Auripo Station, which is name for the sheep farm nearby rather than for a building on the railway.: by taylortreks, Views[206]
         		 We had a cloudy, overcast start of our Otago Rail Trail excursion.: by taylortreks, Views[198]
         		 It's hard to believe this otherworldly landscape is just north of the sunshine in Alexandra.: by taylortreks, Views[352]
         		 Fog extended north and east from Alexandra toward Omakau (which is where we stayed on our 2013 NZL trip).: by taylortreks, Views[333]
         		 But fog and clouds shrouded Clyde and the upper end of the valley from Alexandra.: by taylortreks, Views[333]
     
    Our holiday house was just above and to the right of the historic bridge at Alexandra.: by taylortreks, Views[360]
         		 Colorful trees shimmered in the early morning sunshine.: by taylortreks, Views[308]
         		 Shadows lengthen as the sun sets, which highlights the autumn colors.: by taylortreks, Views[350]
         		 Orchards and vineyards dot the valley between Clyde and Alexandra.: by taylortreks, Views[323]
         		 The mighty Clutha River in the rocky gorge between Clyde and Cromwell.: by taylortreks, Views[465]
     
    Changing colors on the trees are a nice contrast to the historic Clyde Bridge.: by taylortreks, Views[334]
         		 Autumn is a GREAT time to visit the Otago region on the South Island.: by taylortreks, Views[445]
         		 Later during our stay at Nelson, we saw a different sunset, this time with just a single cloud being backlit by the setting sun.: by taylortreks, Views[327]
         		 It's much different than the usual zipline, but still very secure with the 5-point harness in the chair.: by taylortreks, Views[318]
         		 Here's the zipline -- it goes down one side of the valley and halway up the opposite ridge.: by taylortreks, Views[310]
     
    Wonderful views down the valley to Nelson Bay.: by taylortreks, Views[344]
         		 It was sunny along the coast, but clouds were starting to roll in over the mountains.: by taylortreks, Views[400]
         		 The splashes became even more intriguing as the rocks were more and more jumbled. : by taylortreks, Views[346]
         		 The waves made GREAT splashes as they careened into the rocks.: by taylortreks, Views[430]
         		 Of course we had to watch the waves come crashing in to the rocky shore.: by taylortreks, Views[396]
