Rock & Pillar Range 1990

This was the second summer solstice sojourn and involved a semi-circular journey following the sun around a large rocky out crop on top of the Rock & Pillar Range near Dunedin, New Zealand. Although  the journey began at sunrise with brilliant sunshine at 5.40am 110 degrees east, the sun later became obscured in cloud and eventually thick fog which forced the journey to be abandoned before the sunset. 

The first  images images of the sequence had the shape of the rock floating like a large ship on an ocean and as the sequence continued the rock form changed completely until at the end of the sequence through about 180 degrees, it formed the erie shape of a different ship in the mist.
