Cafe Astro - Mt. John Observatory

Atop Mt. John, there is an observatory - college students along with astronomers use it for photography and observation. It was a nice afternoon detour on one of our drives. At times I didn't think our "bus" would make it up the steep incline, but everyone (including the bus) made it to the top. There were great views of the mountains and a river flowing through the valley below. There was even a "Merry X-Mas" mowed in the grass. After a nice cup of coffee and some beautiful photos, we jumped back in the car to continue our adventure.

The pictures that have been taken from this observatory are breathtaking.
