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”
Vastness
It was the first time I was at the very northern tip of a country. I loved looking into the vastness of the waters at Cape Reinga. Such a beautiful place.

Lake Tekapo is known for its bright turquoise waters. Seeing it in a muted state, pretty much like a ‘regular lake’ was something different. I like seeing a different face of this place. The clouds, the muted colours make it nice and moody. I love how in the background you can see a bit ofContinueContinue reading “Muted”

No bright blue lake edged by multicoloured flowers. Just grey and earthy tones, and a stunning view to match. It’s the reward you get afterContinueContinue reading “Shades of grey”
The many hues of Lake Pukaki
Lake Pukaki is a lake with ever changing colours. I’ve seen it in a really bright milky blue, an almost neon turquoise, and now in a deep medium blue with dark spots where clouds cast their shadows. This is one of those lakes that will look different every time you see it. I love it!
The sun goes down
My roommate and I looked out the window of our dorm room and saw Mount Cook in the most amazing pink light. The sun was setting over the highest mountain in New Zealand and we headed out as fast as we could to catch the last rays of sunlight. The light was changing fast and itContinueContinue reading “The sun goes down”
Someone’s backyard
Could you imagine having this as your ‘backyard’? You hop in your boat and you can go just about…anywhere! Surrounded by lots of trees and water (and I’m sure mosquitoes too!), what a beautiful place to live! It’s surely something else than my balcony made of concrete, even though I enjoy sitting there too 😉
