∞ Matagouri ∞ by Jonathan Stacey
∞ Matagouri ∞ – which is Maori for scraggly yet lethal bush with ridiculously long thorns about 2 inches long that bloody hurts if they get you….. Loosly translated of course.. !!
Well and Truly into the blue hour now as I walked around the lake…. well drove to a different spot anyway !!… It’s an enormous lake….give me a break ok !!… found this ghostly looking dead matagouri bush….seemed to suit the mood as the moon rose to set the scene perfectly….
Taken at Lake Te Anau, Fjordland National Park, New Zealand.
