• The shores of Lake Monowai are littered with these drowned trees, victims of the hydro scheme constructed in the 1920's
  • A super crisp winter's afternoon on the shore of Lake Heron
  • Just on sunset the sun broke the horizon and painted this sweet line of light across the Remarkables.
  • A storm on sunset is a recipe for epicness!
  • Pipis (shellfish) in the waters of Milford Sound / Piopiotahi almost look like stars fallen from the sky
  • A summer storm over the Waimakariri River coincides with sunset to create a spectacular end to the day
  • The Clay Cliffs near Omarama provide a great backdrop against the Ahuriri River
  • Lupins along the northern approach of State Highway 8 to Lindis Pass
  • The Church of the Good Shepherd, surrounded by invasive weeds.  But aren't they pretty! :-)
  • Red sky at night, shepherd's delight. Not that any shepherds live at Milford Sound.
  • Lake Pukaki takes on this stunning turquoise colour due to the presence of rock flour, which is sourced from the grinding of glaciers against mountains in the headwaters of Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park.
  • This view up the Hooker River towards Mueller Lake, in Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park, is obtained around 20 minutes walk in on the Hooker Valley Track.
  • When the Tasman Glacier (New Zealand's longest, at 25 km) calves ice into its terminal lake, a winter wonderland is the result.
  • Which way is up?  A beautifully still and crisp winter's morning at Lake Matheson, Westland Tai Poutini National Park.
  • As cloud whips off the crags of The Remarkables the setting sun breaks the horizon and lights the mountainside in a blaze of fire.
  • In 1925 Lake Monowai was raised two metres to provide for a hydroelectric scheme; drowned trees remain on the water's edge to this day.
