Beyond The Ether
Fresh snow and one of the most spectacular light shows I’ve beheld, as the sun set and ignited the clearing storm cloud. Seeing all the elements aligning I knew something special was on the way, so I made the last minute decision to take to the sky for this one. Taking my family with me, it was truly a special moment to share.

Still
The small, delicate leaves of the beech tree really struggle to hold the weight of fresh snow, especially once the sun rises. That said, it is one of the most beautiful sights seeing Fiordland draped in fresh powder down below the tree line. These types of mornings don’t present themself easily, making it even more memorable to witness.

One of the grandest landscapes in New Zealand, with Aoraki/Mt Cook and the glacial Tasman river braids flowing to Lake Pukaki. I’ve been in the air here many times but on this particular day, the light, colours and calm waters created something very special to behold.
