I happened upon this amazing garden about an hour east of Invercargill. This photograph shows part of it's forty-five acres have been lovingly developed over fifty-four years by a couple now in their late eighties. It is very near the tiny village of Blenheim and is a horticultural landscape of great beauty and imagination.

Photograph near the southeastern most point of New Zealand's North Island of the Fur Seal colony of Cape Pallister. There were dozens and dozens of fur seal pups swimming, playing and breastfeeding from their mothers. This little guy showed no fear and I had to keep backing away as he got nearer.

We were staying at an AirBNB in Hokitika on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island. We were invited to attend the first ever Waitangi Day celebrations, New Zealand's national founding holiday, at the Maori Marae in Arahura. It was a wonderful experience in which I learned so much about the importance of the Arahura Marae in Maori Culture as well as the shameful treatment of the Maori by the British in the 19th and 20th centuries. Here in this photograph are some of the beautiful carvings for the front of the Marae. Travel Photography, Photo, New Zealand, Culture, Indigenous, Native, Iwi, Sacred Space,

Our AirBNB host in Arrowtown is a photography afficianado. On our first morning with he and his wife, he drove me up to the Coronet Peak Ski Fields to shoot the sunrise. It turned out to be one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. Here is a panorama photograph stiched from five images in Lightroom. Arrowtown is to the left and Queenstown to the right of the scene with The Remarkables left of center. Travel Photography, Photo, Pano, Mountain, Dawn, Blue, Red,

Moa are perhaps the most iconic of the many extinct birds in New Zealand. They died out, i.e. were eaten out of existence, about 400 years ago. They were the largest flightless birds known reaching heights of 12-18 feet. This skeleton is at the excellent and free Otago Museum in Dunedin on the South Island.

The Te Waikoropupū Springs near the northwestern tip of the South Island on Golden Bay has been a sacred place to the Maori for hundreds of years.

Golden Bay on the northwestern tip of New Zealand's South Island opens to the Cook Strait and is where the Dutch explorer, Abel Tasman, first set foot on New Zealand December 18, 1642, naming it Van Dieman's Land.

A four wheel drive road runs along the south coast of the North Island out of Wellington. On a clear day you can easily see the South Island across the Cook Strait. My AirBNB host drove me out to this beautiful spot and through the Gates of Mordor, the rocks used for the infamous gates in the Lord of the Rings movies.

Photograph of a not infrequent sign that is seen along many of New Zealand's coastal roads. Penquins come ashore at night after a day feeding at sea to sleep, nest and raise their young. This sign is on Breaker Bay Road outside of Wellington and near our B&B, the Little Blue Penquin B&B. New Zealand, Travel Photography, Photo,
