Central Otago in Autumn

Just wanted to share a few images from a recent trip down to Central Otago over Easter weekend this year. The area is just stunning and we were graced with some great weather, including a seriously chilly morning up above Alexandra. The trees put on a spectacular display around the region! Anyway, here's a few scenes to enjoy! #CentralOtago #Autumn #yellow #landscape #NewZealand

Getting High for New Year!

What a gorgeous start to 2018 we're getting in the South Island of NZ. With family in the UK, this year's Christmas break has again been a fantastic opportunity to capitalise on most people staying home with the whanau and instead head out into the hills. After a long think about possible destinations we took a firend's advice and headed up to Murchison and then into the Matiri Valley and the 1000-acre plateau for a 4 night trip.

Winter warmers

Looking out across the Maori Lakes near Methven, Canterbury, New Zealand. The thin scrim of ice on the lake wasn't nearly as big when we first arrived, and my toes weren't very happy standing in the shores of the lake waiting for dawn.

I haven't explored this area much, and at only a couple of hours' drive from home I really don't have a good excuse.. #sunrise #ice #wintermorning #NewZ
