One of the most picturesque locations in New Zealand, Lake Tekapo rests peacefully next to the township of Tekapo. The hill on the other side of the lake is the site of the Mount John observatory, an observatory with almost unparalleled views of the stars in the dark sky reserve above.

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.

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!

My friend who is a Pilot for Air Safaris in my hometown, Lake Tekapo - New Zealand, asked if I wanted to join her on a flight as she had a spare seat. Of course I could not say no, as surrounding Lake Tekapo are beautiful mountains and stunning scenery!

The wonder of The Hooker Glacier and glacial lake and the fret of Mt Cook, NZ. In winter the lake is iced over and some adventurous souls walk out onto it, not me though I’d rather view from afar.

At Offcut, we’re lucky to call New Zealand home. This stunning country of big mountains and beautiful coastline is both our HQ and our playground. It’s right here that we make our limited range of lifetime guaranteed hats from fabric destined for landfill and plant a tree with every hat sold. Join us on the adventure!

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 :)

Watching this sunset was one of the best experiences of my life - we did the Mt Cook walk in the late evening hoping to get Mt Cook for sunset. It was raining all day and all afternoon, but we set out anyway not expecting to even be able to see it. The clouds started to clear just as the sun moved behind the mountain ranges and was almost totally clear while the pinks were out. So glad that we made the decision to go anyway, mother nature had our back.

On our 3.5 hour drive to Mt Cook, we were surrounded by rain clouds and fog with poor visibility. We considered many times to turn around rather than waste the time driving there if we weren’t going to see anything - we had heard it was unseeable when the weather gets bad, but this was our last day in New Zealand if we were going to see it. We decided to persevere and kept driving, keeping faith that it would clear up. Only within the last 2kms of driving, it did, the sun came out the clouds cleared. It was so worth it. What a mountain. Always keep the faith.

Captured are the great Southern Alps in Mt Cook National Park, NZ. My friend is a pilot and took me on a flight around the Alps. The scenery is stunning!

As you round the bend of the final obscuring mountain, Mount Cook (the highest mountain in New Zealand) looms in the distance amidst the snow-covered peaks of the surrounding ranges. An absolutely spectacular, scenic trip.

I really like that sharp mountain v. smooth clouds look. I remember thinking that the slope of the clouds almost matched the mountain range when I snapped it.

This image was taken at Hooker lake New Zealand, the image is named black ice because the glaciers beauty is stolen by the lake it sits above, unnoticed.

Hiking in New Zealand really is a treat. Most everyone you meet is just out to enjoy the day and see as many sights as they can. The government has done a great job at supporting this culture and almost all tracks are well marked and in amazing shape. The low population on the South Island means that you may only pass a few other people on a whole day of hiking to a truly stunning place, another bonus if you are seeking solitude!
