Every time I visit the New Zealand countryside it reminds me why it is my favourite place in the world.
I feel like I’m am on the edge of the globe. A far away settlement surrounded by a harsh but beautiful land with many adventures to be had.
Unlike Australia which has 2 seasons (hot and slightly less hot) NZ takes its landscape through the full colour spectrum and Autumn being one of the most spectacular.
With golden hour almost the whole time the sun is up, even the most simplest scene transforms into a painting of shadows, colour and light.
If you have not visited Glenorchy before, at the other end of lake Wakatipu I highly recommend it. There isn’t much there… and thats the point. This gorgeous sleepy little town of 500 people is so quaint with its couple of home baking cafes, lone pub and stunning mountain views.
The crisp stillness in the autum air always brings a calmness over me. It’s hard not to be extremely present when wandering through the many walking tracks and hikes.
I can not wait to visit again.
