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.

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.

One of my couple shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand. This couple found the perfect location for our shooting and hit the right time to get this beautiful sunset for our photos.

I truly love the people, landscapes and weather of New Zealand, It was about my trip to Christchurch at the afternoon of winter day. Both side of the road was really impressive and picturesque. Taken by Long Nguyen

Its hard to believe this view is just a short ride out of the city of Christchurch, NZ. But then again it IS New Zealand. The beauty is everywhere

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.

Godley Head, known to Māori as Awaroa or Otokitoki for the wider area, and called Cachalot Head by early French explorers, is a prominent headland in Christchurch, New Zealand, located at the entrance to Lyttelton Harbour. The headland is named for John Robert Godley.

Godley Head is the easternmost end of the Port Hills. It forms the northern boundary to the entrance of Lyttelton Harbour; the headland on the southern side of the harbor is called Adderley Head. The nearest settlement is Te Onepoto / Taylors Mistake. Walking access is via Pilgrims Way along the beaches of Boulder Bay. Since the late 1920s, road access has been via the Summit Road

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.

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

The Kea is the only alpine parrot in the world! I took this image in New Zealand at Mueller Hut, over looking the great Aoraki National Park. Mt Sefton in the background.
