New Zealand – March 31 & Final Recap
Here’s a recap my month long NZ adventure and seven months of blogging that followed! All blog posts can be found here. View the galleries of available prints here:
Auckland & Waitakeres Gallery
North Island Gallery
South Island Gallery
Photos can be purchased simply by Emailing Me. Sizing and pricing information is at the top of each gallery. I couldn’t have made this trip without the incredible generosity of my kiwi aunt and uncle and the many others who made donations! If you made a donation, you’ll be hearing from me in the near future about your rewards.
Continued from March 30th.
Sunrise was glorious over lake Pukaki, if not perfectly in line with the peak of Mt. Cook.
The early light over the grassy hills was almost more dramatic.
I stopped at the shore of Lake Pukaki one more time for some last reflection photos.
I then drove east to the coast, made lunch at a beach with very round stones before driving another 2 hours north to Christchurch.
I had only a few hours in Christchurch before my flight to Auckland, but friend of a friend and Christchurch native Justin very generously showed me around his city streets & parks. “Fillers” have popped up in the cleared areas where buildings once stood in the aftermath of the 2011 earthquakes, like a cafe made entirely out of wooden pallets.
