On the return trip home

After Holidaying in the Coromandel and Ruakaka we stop in on our way back into Orakei Korako thermal valley just north of Taupo, also known as “The Hidden Valley”.

This is a place I have visited before with my parents as a child of about eight or nine years old. I have always wanted to return there and photograph it. Most of the geothermal wonderland I recalled as I walked the tracks to the geysers, mud pools and a cave, but I didn’t realise back then how impressive the rawness of the bushland was.

Hutt River Pyramids

Title: “Hutt River Pyramids” — Usage and Licensing Rights

I was driving over to the Wiararapa one weekend I spot these stone Pyramids on the Hutt Valley River. I had heard about these Pyramids and how they would sometimes appear mysteriously over night. The person or persons behind the making of the structures are also a mystery.

PUT-PUT-PUT

Another shot from Samos Island, Greece.

Every now and then we’d pass these motorized trikes sitting on the side of the road. They looked as if they had pasted their used by date and no longer in use. But on this day I came across this gentleman on the road.

We were on the motor-scooter we had hired at that time, so I race ahead, parked up, then waited for him to come round the bend. We didn’t have to wait long. They move a lot faster than you think they can. I almost misted the shot.

Back & Rearing To Go

It’s been a while since I last posted on the blog and I do apologize for that. I know in the last post I said I would try to keep you all informed on what was happening as we travelled, unfortunately things didn’t go as well as I hoped for. After arriving in London and having been there for three days, I got the news that my mother had suddenly taken ill and was in intensive care in Wellington Hospital. From that point on everything went into overdrive mode to get the first available flights back home, but before we managed to do so and within hours of getting the initial phone call, we got the second call to say she had past away.

Heading To Europe

Travel Photography is one of my favourite things to do and over the next two months that’s exactly what I’ll be doing. I will be travelling and snapping parts of Europe which includes, England, mainly London, France, Italy and the Greek Islands.

This will be my second trip to that side of the world and I am really looking forward to taking in the amazing scenery over there once more, as well as meeting the equally amazing people.

For me, going to places that are so very different to what you’re accustomed to photographically is so inspiring that I don’t know if the camera will ever leave my hand.

I will have my laptop with me and I hope to be able to post from time to time, so stay tuned.
