Ketetahi Falls

Tongariro National Park

Swirling Waters - Tawhai Falls

Made my stop at Tawhai Falls on a cool wet misty morning in Tongariro National Park, giving this photo a mood fitting of that day.

Mountain Waters - Mahuia Rapids

Even though it is right off Highway 47, Mahuia Rapids is easy to miss. An amazing place to explore in a place full of amazing places to explore.

Follow the Light - Castlepoint Lighthouse

One of the things I always try to keep in mind when traveling for photography is to be able to adjust and adapt, the road to great photography is rarely without its detours and and setbacks. It seems this winding staircase leading up to the top of the lookout view at Castlepoint shows a bit of that in photo form.

Named Castlepoint (or Castle Point depending on the source) by Captain Cook, the long peninsula of rock made for both an ideal and necessary location for a lighthouse to aid in navigation.

Reflections on Te Rewa Rewa Bridge

Difficult to see from this side-on view, the Te Rewa Rewa Bridge in New Plymouth is designed to resemble both a crashing wave and whale rib cage. On this morning in New Zealand I was lucky enough to capture this unique bridge along with some of the best colored skies I saw my entire trip.
