One of those shots where everything just came together. Despite having daily adventures in New Zealand for most of a year, this capture still ranks as one of my overall favorites.

The west coast of NZ looks like this most of the time. I didn’t see the sun once during my weeklong stay - it really gave the area a special atmosphere.

travelers stories about Waterway in Whataroa, New Zealand

Waterway in Whataroa, New Zealand

  102 km from Arthur's Pass


Adventuring our way around New Zealand in our motorhome, we came across a small town Whataroa. Just out of that town is this wonderful overpass with glacier water flowing below from the surrounding mountains. With the perfect moody conditions we could not pass up the opportunity to get out and fly (even though it was slightly raining). Our drone/s lasted the quick fly and the shots came out better than anticipated, we hope you enjoy just as much!

I am to explore as many greenhouses as I can when I travel, so when we visited Christchurch we went to their botanic garden. The Cuningham House there is incredible, such wonderful architecture. Well worth a visit.

A long, bumpy dirt road keeps a few perfect islands from being too popular in New Zealand. The neatly forested islands look straight out of fantasy.

Ecoregion in Godley Head Park, New Zealand

  123 km from Arthur's Pass


After hearing how amazing the sunrise would be, I woke up super early to catch the sunrise along the coast of New Zealand. However, there ended up being too many clouds and nothing came out as well as I would have liked. The path to the coast was full of shy sheep running away from me. On my way back home, I happened to catch these two friends from afar as we exchanged gazes and felt calm.

Amazing views over Sumner Beach in some parts, and at the top, overlooking Taylors Mistake Bay is unbelievable. Interesting history, and only going to get better once the museum and gun emplacements have been restored.

travelers stories about Glacial landform in Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand

Glacial landform in Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand

  126 km from Arthur's Pass


Seeing this glacier was awesome, but I was more impressed at how much it had retreated -and just how quickly that had happened! Sadly, you can no longer hike up to the glacier and this photo had to be taken from over 750m away. In 2008, standing in that same spot, I would have been *on* the glacier. Glaciers come and go naturally, but they are especially sensitive to change and our climate reality looks a little bleak. We can do better :)

We woke early to watch the sun tear apart the clouds around Mt Aoraki (Mt Cook), revealing its monolithic self, and the peaks of its surrounding children.

This was taken in the evening at Hooker Lake where i was alone in the dark apart from a few large possums. I used a long exposure but due to the wind, some of the icebergs shifted and so are slightly blurry in this image. littleleafcreative.com
