  • A remnant of the last ice age, Lake Mapourika is located just to the north of Franz Josef.
  • Located on the drive from Queenstown to Glenorchy, this view nearly always causes you to crash your car.
  • One of the most photographed lakes in the world (and for good reason!); Moraine Lake, Alberta, Canada.
  • Any icy start to the day at Lake Kirkpatrick, located in the hills behind Queenstown.
  • It's easy to see why the famous author, Rudyard Kipling, described Milford Sound / Piopiotahi as the eighth wonder of the world.
  • 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.
  • When the Tasman Glacier (New Zealand's longest, at 25 km) calves ice into its terminal lake, a winter wonderland is the result.
  • Pipis (shellfish) in the waters of Milford Sound / Piopiotahi almost look like stars fallen from the sky
  • A super crisp winter's afternoon on the shore of Lake Heron
  • The shores of Lake Monowai are littered with these drowned trees, victims of the hydro scheme constructed in the 1920's
  • The protected wildlife refuge of Lake Alexandrina is a serene spot to see out the end of the day
  • Minutes after capturing this image at Lake Tekapo, the heavens opened and I was running for cover!
  • The Red Tarns are accessed via an hour and a bit climb from Aoraki / Mt Cook village
  • After getting up incredibly early on a summer morning and initially being disappointed with the light and wishing I had stayed in bed, the arrival of the sun lighting up the horizon across Lake Te Anau turned out to be some of the most surreal conditions I've yet experienced!
  • A beautifully still winter's afternoon at Lake Heron, Canterbury
  • In summer the lupin flowers blooming along the hydro canals of the Mackenzie Basin are a treat for the eye
