  • A super crisp winter's afternoon on the shore of Lake Heron
  • Pipis (shellfish) in the waters of Milford Sound / Piopiotahi almost look like stars fallen from the sky
  • Red sky at night, shepherd's delight. Not that any shepherds live at Milford Sound.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • A hoar frost descends on the trees surrounding Wairepo Arm, near Twizel.
  • It's easy to see why the famous author, Rudyard Kipling, described Milford Sound / Piopiotahi as the eighth wonder of the world.

  • This jetty at the Marakura Yacht Club, Lake Te Anau, looks out to the vast wilderness of Fiordland National Park.
