Exploring the Sounds

Daily Photo – Exploring the Sounds

One of my favorite things to do in NZ has been to explore the various Sounds, in this case I think it was Milford Sound. Always epic.

South Island Exploration

Daily Photo – South Island Exploration

This is the road to Milford Sound/Piopiotahi. I took this photo on a moody autumn morning when the road was empty and quiet, except for the occasional sheep grazing by the side. I was captivated by the contrast between the rugged peaks and the smooth surface of the road mixed with the vibrant colors of nature.

Crossing Monkey Creek

Daily Photo – Crossing Monkey Creek

As you drive into Milford Sound/Piopiotahi, you may well decide that the drive itself is better than the destination. And that’s saying a lot, believe me!

I think one of the best unofficial hikes is right around Monkey Creek here. It’s certainly worth parking your car and spending a few hours walking around the area. Even without your camera, it’s still a feast for the eyes.
