You’d be forgiven for thinking that this was out on a ranch in Montana but actually it was over past Glenorchy, here on the South Island of New Zealand!
In a break from our regularly scheduled programming… Here’s a photo I took on the way to Glenorchy the other day to go on a long hike with some friends. It’s been a great summer down here… hiking between 10-20km a day. The nature here is so beautiful and relaxing.
… I do love a Leica lens on my Sony a7R cameras. Even if I mostly use the 24-105 nowadays.
One of the things that interested me about going to Scotland is how it might compare/contrast with New Zealand. Here’s just one fun little example of a tie between the two places. Those of you who are long time visitors of the blog will be familiar with some of my images from Glenorchy down towards the end of Lake Wakatipu. Well, turns out there is a Glen Orchy in Scotland and within that is a cool set of waterfalls where the River Orchy has worn the rock into all sorts of fascinating shapes and mini canyons like the ones below.
This is one of the images from my Fine Art collection which get fabricated in Germany by those Master Printers at Grieger… Recently I did a fun collection of NFTs where there were 6 that had a physical artwork attached. If you hold the NFT on a set date you get the physical print too. That claim period is now open for those who hold them and I can’t wait to see where they end up!
On a helicopter flight, we flew out over where the Dart River empties into the Wakatipu lake in Glenorchy. I don’t know about you, but I’m mesmerized by the patterns these deltas make. I’d love to see a time-lapse over the past 50,000 years of how it has changed. I wonder if there is a computer simulation out there that shows it.
It was a lightly cool morning, but the morning had that feeling like it would slowly warm, even while standing there. I was returning from an overnight photo adventure and took a hike along the shores of Lake Wakatipu, which according to Maori legend, was created after a gigantic ogre was burned to make the hollow.

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.
Never out of them at the moment it seems! Todays involves an update with the developer of the new Fine Art site. So that’s a good reason to post something from the Series 1 prints! This is called “painting on the water with other water” and gets produced at 1.67 x 2.5 meters. 🙂
