This was taken at a lovely little beach called Bobby's Head about half an hour north of Dunedin which is now a wildlife reserve, there's been much planting over the past 15 or so years to restore the area to its natural state after years of farming. The beach has...

Snow Road
I have just returned from a wonderful long weekend at Lake Tekapo which is nestled at the base of New Zealand's Southern Alps. While the weather wasn't perfect, the magnificent snowy mountains were hidden from view by low cloud most of the time. Fortunately, I did...
Watching
Paul is having connection problems at the moment so yet another photo from me here and one with a human subject for a change 🙂 This is the lovely Katiki beach adjacent to the main highway north to Oamaru, it's a beautiful long golden beach and is one of the...
A little late lunch
Hanmer springs is a lovely alpine village famed for its beautiful natural hot springs, it also has some great tracks to walk and cycle. I spotted this guy -a mule if I'm not mistaken, when we were out for a walk. He wasn't going to stop eating for anything, or come...
Power Line
Another one of my "out the car window" shots where I've had to do a little "cleaning" of the pesky fence posts that appeared in the raw image -what would we do without photoshop 🙂 This was taken in the early evening light on our way home from visiting family in...

The Sheep and the Rock

The Road
This was taken while I was on holiday just last week on a very hot and dry North Canterbury day as we ventured high into the hills looking for a river. It's beautiful countryside with rolling brown hills, the occasional tree and white roads thanks to the local...
The Bull on the Hill
This was taken on one of those hot summer days early in the morning when there was thick fog in the valleys. We were travelling to inland Otago via a road known as the Dunstan Trail which was used by the early settlers and miners heading to the Dunstan goldfields in...
Watching
It's been another warm day here so after dinner we went for a quick walk along a road (now closed to traffic) above St Kilda Beach, the light was dramatic with dark skies and occasional sunbeams breaking through the cloud layers . At the end of the road, is wonderful...
