Down here in the Southern Hemisphere our Aurora is the Australis rather than Borealis. Different name, same awesome. Here’s a little glimpse of it one night down at the tip of the South Island in Invercargill.
Here’s Lake Wakatipu being its normal awesome self…
Sometimes when out exploring in NZ it seems like the landscape might go on forever. Here’s one such scene. Speaking of going on forever, my friend Rene recently walked from the top of the South Island to the bottom. I guess that proves it doesn’t really go on forever… either way, quite an achievement by him!
“The TSS Earnslaw is a 1912 Edwardian twin screw steamer based at Lake Wakatipu in New Zealand. It is the only remaining commercial passenger-carrying coal-fired steamship in the southern hemisphere.”

I’ve been up on Coronet Peak quite a bit over the past few weeks for an upcoming project which I’m looking forward to sharing. It’s been fun to see the ever-changing conditions and find different angles to capture. Here’s one of the views…
I’m hoping we can squeeze a few more weeks out of the awesome autumn/fall colors that are currently exploding around Queenstown (and Arrowtown) and then it’s on to winter in June/July… It’s been over a decade that I’ve been here, and it still feels a bit weird to have winter in the summer months. 🙂
The road from Queenstown to Glenorchy is a treasure-trove of awesome photography options. One day as I was returning home around sunset this lovely scene presented itself and I just had to pull over and grab the image.
Another glimpse of those wild fall/autumn colors in Queenstown…
It’s pretty much peak Autumn here in NZ. Normally at this time we’d be gearing up for a workshop but Covid put a stop to that for a couple of years. Things are looking good for next year though and I have a bunch of people all signed up. If you’d like to join them then head over here to find out more! Oh, and if you own one of my NFTs you get a 25% discount on the workshop!
