Light Soaked
One of those scenarios you can only dream of, as shafts of light pierced through the forest, right beside the oceans edge. The scene vanished not long after arriving.

Crystal Waters
A hidden pool, accessed by kayak beneath towering mountains not far from the lakes edge. Whilst exploring the area, the light made its way through the forest and created this pristine scene.

For A Moment

As a new day dawns and a veil of cloud slowly rises to the heavens. This was the brief moment in-between.

Uniformity
As the rain subsides and makes its way through the valleys and out to sea, the forest is cleansed and the cycle continues.

Endurance
Soldiers of trees supporting each other in an underground network of roots, captured here in a combination of snow, wind, rain and glimpses of light.

Together forever
I’ve enjoyed photographing these old trees for years, since I first picked up a camera really. On this particular afternoon I was home watching a storm roll through and could see the faintest of breaks in the cloud, low on the horizon. Despite having a million other things to do, I took off in the car with hope that the low lying sun would eventually make its way through. As you can, everything lined up on this occasion, resulting in spectacular sunset that even had a rainbow out east. These moments are rare but landscape photography is all about the pursuit of such instances. A special thanks to my wife who has supported me through the years, whether near or far.

Together As One
Storms come and go but light remains, as it did on this particular afternoon when the setting sun found it’s way through the cloud above and made for one of the grandest sunsets I’ve beheld.
