Like a lot of my photography, I try to notice the unnoticed, and this lot are the next batch. Some more photo’s taken while moving about for no particular reason. In New Zealand we are so lucky to have such amazing scenery literally everywhere you look. This is just stuff I saw, no special trips required. This is New Zealand, the bits we drive past every day.
St Martins Church, I walked around the grounds for ages to get the spire in the sun shot.Country road, take me home…I don’t even know what this river is called, it runs down towards Pahiatua off the Manawatu River.Looking straight into the sun near Apiti, yes Apiti.Nobody has ever taken this shot before. It’s a gully. I like a nice gullyI have no idea what you might call that atmospheric effect. Like a reverse rainbow sort of thing. Seen above the Wairarapa Hill countryDerelict woolshed, near SH54, the Vinegar Hill road. Nobody knows why it’s called Vinegar Hill.That’s Mt Ruapehu, from Foxton Beach. just the 230 kilometres away. We have clear skies in New Zealand.Sunset from Foxton Beach. It’s the best bit of Foxton Beach.Huntsman from the Rangitikei Hunt Club. They don’t actually hunt anything. They just get dressed up and ride about in the scenery.High in the Tararua Ranges. I drove up the creatively named Heights Road to get here.Who doesn’t love to stumble across a Steam Train passing through.The sign says look for trains, I found one.There’s Mt Ruapehu again. From about 150 kilometres away. It’s awesome.I disturbed some pigeons when I stood on their bridge. They kindly made my shot more attractiveDawn reflecting on the woolshed, pretty awesome. We have impressive dawns here. Sunrise in another language.Barn, needs work.I drove up a road called Heights Road. It was very high. I believe there’s also regularly a stiff breeze up here.Low cloud in the Wairarapa. Near Pahiatua. Autumnal.Small pond nowhere in particular. I liked the reflections.
Sand, you definitely have a talent, both with the camera and the keyboard. Thanks for sharing, you’re almost making me homesick.
