This is the Cape Paliser Lighthouse, on the North Island of NZ. After climbing up a million steps to get to the lighthouse, we went down to the beach and sat near the rocks. It wasn’t until one of them moved that we realised we were right in the middle of a seal colony.

Sometimes the sun has not been given enough time to go down in style. It is chased out of the sky, its light butchered by dark featureless and easy to forget clouds. Not this evening though. In such a wonderful setting and with all the time in the world, at its own pace, it gently covered the whole universe, material and the other one, with its pink warm residue leaving you with an overwhelming feeling of relief and joy. It is often hard to imagine a place like this for us city slickers, with the clock meaningless, space limitless, and your soul miles away from the tension and stress, the main culprits behind the structural damage of our emotional self. Later that night I was carried through sleep on a cushion of wonderful dreams until the sun made its usual roundtrip. Does this surprise you?

On a perfect day, everything that matters in life can fit into a single frame. I am pretty sure you know what I mean by a statement like this. A chilly morning starts with a haze trapped in the garden treetops, and you blossom with a completely unprovoked smile on your face. Lunch tastes like it is your last, the warm air around the table smells of exhilaration. Night is peaceful, with the sky of colours seen only on postcards from exotic lands that make you wish you were there. Hold on, I was there. Yes, it was a short trip on a rural road from the regional centre to the lovely beach. The sun was already low, somewhere between the sun visor and the horizon. I had only a quarter of an hour to make a shot. I must have taken at least a half a dozen images of the scene before I saw them. A couple, their footwear in their hands and a dog, barely visible here sniffing the rounded rock, emerged from the cliff shadows. The animal spotted me, and decided to check out the puffed middle aged man with his shoes full of sand and a photo bag that is ripping off his shoulder, a someone who clearly doesn’t fit in the surroundings. Despite the odds, I seemed to smell ok. They waved. My initial thought was, I had no intention of posting an image of a couple in love on a sunset lit beach, no way. But then, it must have been the overall warmth of the picture painted by the beautiful blazing star that gives us existence, the pacific that outlines our sovereignty, multihued sky crisscrossed with the Golden Fleece left by the planes on the air corridor North-South, and the mighty dark cliffs of the West Coast vanishing into the horizon. And of course, Love, eternal and pure Love.

Another shot from my last trip to Kaikoura in New Zealand. / This image was taken along the roadside. / As you drive into Kaikoura, you come towards across local fisherman and people selling fresh fish & crayfish . Well, this caravan was set up to sell crayfish, and this was the setting by the caravan. Not bad for a little bit of ambiance…. =============================== click here! if you want to see the whole collection so far in this portfolio.

This is sunrise at a beach north of Dunedin,NZ, along the Otago coast. These boulders,( Moeraki boulders) are concretions, some up to 3 meters in diameter, which have been formed by precipitation of calcite from pore waters in the Moeraki Formation. / Local Māori legends explained the boulders as the remains of eel baskets, calabashes, and kumara washed ashore from the wreck of an Arai-te-uru, a large sailing canoe. This legend tell of the rocky shoals that extend seaward from Shag Point as being the petrified hull of this wreck and a nearby rocky promontory as being the body of the canoe’s captain. / The area where we were had roughly 30 or so of these boulders. Though the clouds were a bit too numerous to catch any spectacular sunrise colors, the boulders were fascinating to observe. / Just as we were leaving the sun poked through the clouds to shimmer off the waters.

Martha’s Pantry is a new tea shop in Wellington, specialising in traditional Devonshire teas and high teas. The owners have created a country atmosphere right in the middle of the city, with attractive baskets of flowers in the outside courtyard, and comfortable traditional furniture inside and out. Despite its unpromising location (corner of Cuba Street and the bypass), it really works and is definitely worth going to. I had a long black (Coffee Supreme fair trde organic) and a carrot cake. Yummy!

Somewhere along the Milford Track in New Zealand’s Fiordland National Park. The 53km long track is regarded as the finest walk in the world and the hiker traverses mountain streams to alpine passes and the terrain changes from rainforests to mountain ranges to deep valleys to open fields. Featured in “Around The World” December 2009.

Queenstown, New Zealand, the adventure capital of the world, must have one of the most spectacular restaurant locations in the world too – this one is up at Bob’s Peak and you get up there via a chairlift. Everytime I’m up on this lookout out on the deck where those people are, I try not to think about the earthquakes that New Zealand still experiences!
