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.

A scene which typifies Fiordland, with its forested mountains and numerous islands. There’s a special window in the golden hour when the light paints the trees and creates various contours, giving depth and shape to the mountains. A dusting of snow is always the final ingredient to top things off. My paradise.

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.
