in lieu of visiting a sea stack somewhere in malaysia, this pic, taken in june 2010 was another sea stack that i was initially introduced and subsequently captivated by the intro scene to the 2008 disney movie, the chronicles of narnia: prince caspian.
here’s the scene, at the 2:20 mark:
cathedral cove, with its maori name te whanganui-a-hei which means the great bay of hei.
the location:
while on a state highway 80 in june 2010 driving towards aoraki mt. cook, i managed to pull over the rented car on the gravel side road and walked away, freezing temperature notwithstanding, while the kids were screaming to get out of the child seats and followed my steps. i ignored them and got the chance which they didn’t have (at that moment), to look around and took in what was, an extraordinary landscape – the southern alps.
aoraki mt. cook, at 3,754m, the highest mountain in new zealand, stood proudly and prominently in front of me. it had a magnificent and timeless quality. although i was not really on a high mountain, but the perspective on the world changes almost immediately.
