A Distant Land
Coastal Fiordland, where temperate rainforest greets the sea, all beneath a fortress of majestic mountains.

Serene
Just me alone in this vast wilderness, as the sun sets over this great fiord one fine summers eve. This area is one of the windiest and wettest places in the world, so being able to absorb such a serene evening here was surely cherished. Of course, by midday the next day I was inside my tent completely engulfed in rain and cloud. You can view the making of this image over on my Youtube channel.

Thankful
This was a special morning, on a mountain saddle where I camped the previous night. The early summer sunrise was a gift that just kept on giving, decorating the clouds in various hues and bringing a luminous glow to the mountains. The great fiord of Dusky was below me, but I was also very fond of this small mountain tarn and view of Mount Hodges.

Summers Eve
As much as I love the dramatic and evocative mood Fiordland is notorious for, I still have a soft spot for these calm, crisp mornings and evenings which occasionally grace this wild land.

Cascadia
A magnificent cascade of falls which plunges from the mountains down to the surface of the sea.

Solace
At the feet of glacially carved mountains, where temperate rainforest greets the salt waters of the sea. This is Fiordland.

Tranquility
In the far, remote shores of Wet Jacket Arm in the Fiordland wilderness. A special place where rainforest greets the edge of the sea and mountains rise from the deepest of depths.

Resolution
Fiordland is a place where no two days are ever the same, an expansive landscape of shifting shadows and fleeting light. This image was captured from the air late one summer’s afternoon as the sun casts its final rays of light over Dusky Sound. Another rare and elusive moment hidden from the rest of the world and experienced only by a select few who may have had the pleasure of calling this place home for a short window in time

Dusk
The remote, south west corner of Fiordland. An expanse of fiords and islands that are too wild, rugged and remote to be settled. So, nature reigns supreme, with storms often flooding and transforming the landscape, this golden afternoon being a rare exception.

Break Through
No other place stirs my heart like Fiordland, even the name itself evokes lofty thoughts. Whether in the midst of chaotic storms or amidst a window of calm, beauty abounds. Here, the veil of cloud is lifted as the sun sets over the horizon at Dusky Sound.
