I love a good trail in an image and this one was particularly nice…

New Zealand’s landscape always fascinates me, and one particular reason is areas like this where there are some crazy contrasts of soft hills right alongside harsh, jagged mountains.

This a shot I got on the way to Mount Cook/Aoraki. It’s about a 4 hour drive from my home, but there are literally a million places you can take photos. Actually, there are millions of millions I suppose… As you approach Mount Cook, there are just endless openings like this where you can hike around. I’ve walked out here for ages upon ages and never even seen another human being. It’s wild how unpopulated the South Island of New Zealand is.

Here’s a new one from Wanaka, which is about an hour north of me here in New Zealand. I took this from a helicopter as I was flying over there to camp with some friends. I know, fancy right? I don’t often go camping, but when I do, I only arrive by helicopter. Just kidding… it was a special occasion, and the camping was incredible… nothing like wandering out nude and wading into that beautiful lake… it’s the best bath in the world. Even though I don’t particularly like cold water. I’m trying to get used to it!
