Valour
A beautiful gift that was unveiled before my eyes. My favourite type of scene to behold as glacially carved mountains rise from the atmospheric forested valley below. A few minutes later it was gone. I really cherish this moment.

Ablaze
One of my favourite times of year as the air cools, the light softens and the first snows drape the mountains. The autumn colours are a nice bonus too!

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.

The best moments are unplanned, unexpected and simply come to demand your attention above all else. After hiking uphill through the dark and snow, this scene materialised and holds a special place in my heart and mind. I’m grateful for it all.

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.
