Full Moon from Skyline Observation Deck

This slideshow requires JavaScript.


For dinner our first night in Queenstown, the group walked through town up a steep hill to the Skyline Gondola. We boarded the gondola and saw a scenic dusk view of Queenstown as we ascended the mountain.

Before dinner, we went outside onto the Skyline Observation Deck and saw the glowing full moon illuminate the sky and landscape below. The clouds kept moving. The moon disappeared and reappeared. The evening air on the mountain felt cold against my skin. After snapping some photos, I dashed inside to the warm heated bar.
