EXPLORE THE WORLD

The Moeraki boulders are a collection of spherical rocks scattered across Koehohe Beach, in New Zealand’s South Island. Maori legend has it these boulders are actually gourds or eel baskets scattered on the shore after the canoe Araiteuru was wrecked while sailing south seeking precious greenstone. Variously likened to dinosaur eggs, giant turtle eggs and pods from outer space, this particular crop reminded me of a strand of beads strewn across the beach.

When you think of Queenstown, you often think of the surrounding mountains. But it’s the lake that keeps drawing me back. During the day, it teems with activity as steam ships, catamarans, and speed boats make their rounds. But at night it’s calm and quiet. From this vantage point I was able to capture the lights of the surrounding town reflected in the water, as well as an arm of the Milky Way above. It’s a breathtaking view, and one I look forward to capturing again.

What did we do to justify this bull sticking its tongue out at us? No, we didn’t insult him, or his mother. Actually, we managed to catch this bull at just the right time as he sought food pellets from the top of the fence post. This Scottish Highlander is a breed known for its docile manner, betraying all stereotypes of wild-eyed, mad bulls around the world. We knew we’d see a lot of sheep in NZ, but didn’t realise we’d be charmed by a shaggy bull craving pats and nose scratches.

8 degrees celsius, and a tearing wind, and Lake Wakatipu was looking grim this morning. But the clouds put on a dramatic display as they receded and gave way to a clear and crisp day. Autumn is such a great time to visit this part of the world; here’s to cold starts, hot coffees, and golden landscapes!
