Feature: Winter | Snow

  • One of the most photographed lakes in the world (and for good reason!); Moraine Lake, Alberta, Canada.
  • When you're on State Highway 80 and have this view of Lake Pukaki and Aoraki - Mt Cook, you know only good things lie ahead.
  • Any icy start to the day at Lake Kirkpatrick, located in the hills behind Queenstown.
  • New Zealand's highest mountain, Aoraki / Mt Cook (3,724m), looms large over State Highway 80.
  • A hoar frost descends on the trees surrounding Wairepo Arm, near Twizel.
  • When the Tasman Glacier (New Zealand's longest, at 25 km) calves ice into its terminal lake, a winter wonderland is the result.
  • A super crisp winter's afternoon on the shore of Lake Heron
  • A UFO cloud (altocumulus lenticularis) hovers over Aoraki / Mt Cook
  • A chilly start to the day (-14 degrees C) on a back country road near Lake Tekapo
  • The wintry view from Sealy Tarns towards Aoraki / Mt Cook
  • When the hoar frost descends on the Mackenzie Country it can be so intense that it looks like snow!
  • A beautifully still winter's afternoon at Lake Heron, Canterbury
  • The sprint to get to Tasman Lake at sunrise on this cold winter's morning was well worth the effort!
  • When State Highway 8 comes alongside Lake Pukaki the first sight of its glacial blue water is almost too difficult to believe
  • Aoraki-Mt Cook (3724m) towers above inversion cloud blanketing the Tasman Valley
  • Early morning starts at Lake Tasman may be cold but they are often beautiful for photography
