Night 3rd place winner

Taken from Sefton Bivouac, a popular alpine hut in New Zealand, the night sky provided a beautiful clear display during the night that I'd decided to spend up there. The early hours of the morning were spent out in the dark, making sure the camera didn't suffer any further from kea attacks. Luckily, I managed to also take a Milky Way shot here that's become one of my personal favourites.
