On my 2012 travels to New Zealand I went to Arthur’s Pass by train. I decided to stay in this very small town for a few days just to check it out. It was a nice place, but not as ‘end of the world’ as I had expected it to be. Perhaps it was theContinueContinue reading “Devils Punchbowl Falls”

I just can’t get enough
It’s kind of ridiculous how beautiful New Zealand is. The green hills are a stark contrast to the blue skies painted with white clouds. And I can’t get enough of it! 🙂
Lines
After the sandboarding, our tourguide took the big bus onto the sand to drive us along 90-mile beach. It’s pretty cool riding on the beach (I experienced it once before on Fraser Island, Australia). I love seascapes, the vastness, the emptiness. In this shot, I particularly like the composition and the horizontal lines all over.
Another one bites the dust
After visiting Cape Reinga, we made our way to the ‘sandy bits’. First there was the opportunity to go sandboarding off these dunes and after that we went to 90-mile beach (which isn’t actually 90 miles long). It would have been fun to give this a shot, but my pneumonia (which I didn’t know IContinueContinue reading “Another one bites the dust”
My 4 favourite musea in Amsterdam
While I mainly blog about nature and landscapes, I felt like blogging about something a little closer by this time.

I haven’t seen all musea in Amsterdam, or the Netherlands for thatContinueContinue reading “My 4 favourite musea in Amsterdam”

The treaty made New Zealand a part of the British Empire, guaranteed Māori rights to their land and gave Māori the rights of British subjects. I took this photo on the Waitangi Treaty GroundsContinueContinue reading “Waitangi Day”
Just a regular NZ beach
While I love walking on the beach in my home country, it really is a different experience from walking on a beach in New Zealand. Both are beautiful, don’t get me wrong. But there’s something about New Zealand beaches that I really love. And this photo is just a regular beach in Northland. The coloursContinueContinue reading “Just a regular NZ beach”
Standing tall
Such an awesome piece of coast. The water was so rugged that my friend and I couldn’t take the ferry to Kapiti Island and explore this, from what I’ve heard, amazing bird sanctuay island. Due to rough weather, the ferry was cancelled. Instead, we had a wander along the coast, where I saw these amazing,ContinueContinue reading “Standing tall”
