Nelson, my favourite city in New Zealand. It’s got such a great vibe and the fact that it’s one of the most sunny places in the country, helps a little…okay a lot! 🙂 Here I was in the Nelson harbour, waiting for my water taxi to Kaiteriteri to spend a day in the gorgeous AbelContinueContinue reading “Cloud burst”

Coca-cola landscape
Approaching Lake Louise, Alberta, the landscape turned into the most amazing snowy picture perfect scenery. It felt like we were driving into the set of a Coca-cola commercial or a Christmas postcard. Tall trees covered in the most amazing powdery snow. I had never seen anything like it. Beautiful!
Promise of a beautiful day
I took this photo at the beginning of the Routeburn Track. The haziness in the background, the sun trying to break through the clouds, it held the promise of a beautiful day. The first leg of the trek consisted almost exclusively of climbing, so I enjoyed the ‘flat bits’ while it lasted. 😉
