“The Moeraki Boulders are a group of large spherical “stones” on Koekohe Beach near Moeraki on New Zealand’s Otago coast. These boulders are actually concretions that have been exposed through shoreline erosion from coastal cliffs. Even today, there are still boulders remaining in the mudstone that will, eventually, fall on to the beach as theyContinueContinue reading “Geological marvels”

Pop
I love how the blue petals of this flower just pop off the screen! I took this photo when I was at Hopewell last December. Guess this shot was one of those ‘happy accidents’ as Bob Ross would have said. I’m completely in love with how this photo turned out!
Buds and a bee
This week’s photo challenge is awakening or renewal. I chose a few photos that I took when I was at Hopewell last December. I was inspired by the shapes and colour of these flowers. Most petals were still wrapped up in buds. Only a few were unfolding, helping the transformation into beautiful new flowers. AContinueContinue reading “Buds and a bee”
Murals and street art
New Zealand street art/murals often depict native wildlife other kiwiana. As a creative person myself (though nowhere near as talented as these artists, haha) this kind of art makes me smile! And the first photo? So fitting, as I can’t seem to stay away from New Zealand! 🙂
Are you gonna go my way?
The sky looked a bit moody, but the weather was mild and sunny. I decided to explore the small town of Hahei a little more. I walked along this road and then hiked up to a lookout point. The view was worth it, but so was the way to it. Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge
Warm colours and silhouettes

I’d heard good things about the BBH hostel Moana Lodge and the place surely did not disappoint! The place was clean and tidy, and the owner/manager hadContinueContinue reading “Warm colours and silhouettes”
See the line where the sky meets the sea, it calls me
I’ve always loved water. When I was a kid, I’d spend most summer days swimming in the nearby lake or paddling in the creek in my inflatable rowboat. I would spend hours on end enjoying the water, whether I was on it or in it. I loved it. I enjoyed these adventurous water voyages, untilContinueContinue reading “See the line where the sky meets the sea, it calls me”
Big rocks, small rocks, some as big as your head
This is what the trail during the Fjällräven Classic typically looked like. The trail is part of the Kungsleden, well established and regularly hiked, but also old and worn out thus exposing the rocks underneath. As pretty as it may look, it’s actually quite difficult to hike, because you constantly have to consciously place your feet.ContinueContinue reading “Big rocks, small rocks, some as big as your head”
