This sleepy fellow was at the entrance to the long walk in Kaikoura. Conveniently placed with big beautiful eyes? Perfect animal.
This was where the Kaikoura walk took us. It reminded me a lot of the fields in Switzerland. A flowing sea of bright green grass.
I happened to walk outside with my camera when one of the fellows at the hostel in Fox Glacier started fire dancing. The perfect moment to pactice long exposures.
In the distance, past the green grass you can see the massive sheet of ice that carved out deep valleys in the mountains.
This bird sat perfectly for me while I stretched my legs in Makarora. The rest stop was perfect. I was able to watch horses run in farmer's fields with mountains surrounding me.
This was the road we took to get to Queenstown. The clouds were brilliantly moody; just how I like them.
