New Zealand Tasman River flood plain
On Highway 80 heading north towards the southern boundary of Aoraki Mount Cook National Park with Mount Cook on the horizon on the left. This is a beautiful drive that terminates at the Hermitage Hotel and Aoraki Mount Cook Village which are an excellent bases for exploration of the area which includes the Tasman Glacier, Lake and terminal moraine. Photography opportunities are boundless.

Nothing special required except that you are shooting into the sun so exposure can be tricky. Bracket if you are unsure. Mountain weather can be very changeable.
