The Milford Sound

I can with certainty say that our daylong visit to the Milford Sound was one of life's perfect days, a day that will resonate and be remembered and be savored for as many years as I am able. The sound's color was an exquisite blue and the clarity of the 1000-foot deep fjord expanded the dimension of the views.

The rainforest came down to the waterline with ferny delight. The waterfalls, minimal due to a two-week drought, still threw themselves gleefully over the edges high above, racing to the clear blue waters below.
