Flying over Fox Glacier and around Mt Cook in a heli, definitely something everyone should do. Really shows the absolute magnificence and rugged danger of the mountain ranges. Incredible.

Standing there, contemplating nature strength, listing to the buzzy noise of collapsing water. This fall is located in Fiordland, one of the wettest place on the Southern Hemisphere.

After a long five hour trek uphill on day two of the Kepler Great Walk in New Zealand, we finally reached the top of our climb and were blessed with this breathtaking view. When I think about that hike I remember how mentally and physically difficult it was, but when I look at this photo I’m reminded that it was completely worth it.

This is one of my favourite photos from the Kepler Track in New Zealand. We had a lot of rain the day beforehand but this day was clearing with some lingering clouds around us. Looking behind us you could see the pathway snake its way around the mountain, really showing the scale of the walk we were doing.

Hiking the 4 day Kepler Track in Fiordland, New Zealand. This was taken on day 2 of the hike, after crossing these immensely tall and steep ridgelines - they can be notoriously dangerous to cross if you have poor conditions (wind, rain) but we somehow had perfect weather after a day of rain before. I fell in love with the texture of the mountains from the snow carving it out.

We started our last day of the 4 day hike through the Kepler Track early to make the most of the day - the lake was so perfectly still with the warm colour of the sky. Perfect.

Off-track crossover hiking (tramping) trip from Borland Valley to Manapouri. Fiordland National Park, New Zealand. We found these guys just before dropping back into the bush. Keas are very smart, cheeky birds.

A perfectly quiet night out at Lake Hauroko far into Fiordland New Zealand. Large rains had this dock slightly underwater making for a cool (literally) effect. Fun fact: this small lake is 462m deep!

This was our view upon exiting the Homer Tunnel as we began our descent down to Milford Sound. Ominous clouds, cascading rain-fed waterfalls, and some amazing cliffs.

Milford Sound in New Zealand has some of the fastest changing weather in the world. One minute blue skies, the next black clouds with heavy rainfall. We were lucky enough to experience both in a matter of minutes, but what comes with that is some of the most spectacular moving clouds we’ve ever seen. Clouds seamlessly engulf mountains and change your view in seconds. Here I caught midst of a moment where mountain rainforests fade away into the fog.

After a beautiful cruise through the Milford Sound Fjord in New Zealand we saw the sun set behind the mountains. Beautiful :)

I had arrived to work on the airport at Milford and even though the sun had set by the time I finished, I raced back to the Cleddau river that I had crossed earlier in the day. Down to a suitable rock to balance the camera (travelling with work, I didn’t have room for my tripod) The lighting was lingering just long enough for me and this is the result.

We drove through the rain to get to the first boat out into Milford Sound on New Zealand’s South Island. And it was well worth it. Even in the rain it’s a spectacular place — there are hundreds of waterfalls that only appear when it’s raining.
