Photo of the Week: Queen Charlotte Track

This week's photo was taken on New Zealand's most famous hiking trail; the Queen Charlotte Track.  The Queen Charlotte Track follows along the Marlborough Sound and is located on the northern tip of New Zealand's South Island.   Believe it or not, this photo was taken in July, smack dab in the middle of the New Zealand winter.  Even though the air temperature was just above freezing, the mid-day sun had drenched this little bay enough to make it almost seem tropical.
