It was a frosty morning today in Central Otago. A hoar-frosty morning. The first one I've been lucky enough to see and capture a few photos of. There was an inversion running up the Clutha and as it was clearing it left whiteness in its wake.

Coral Coast, Fiji
I have a few days stopover in Fiji on my way back to NZ from the USA. If I get around to it I will post some photos from my time in the US, although there are very few to choose from. Picking up my camera seems to take too much effort these days. I have carried 2 camera bodies and three lenses around with me and only used one camera and 2 lenses so far. Murphy's law - if I have them, I don't need them and if I don't carry them, I do need them... C'est la vie.
Blue skies on the first day, grey skies on the second. Today, disappearing grey and burgeoning blue. Happiness is a blue sky.

Autumn in Central Otago
I recently had the good fortune to drive form Dunedin to Wanaka just in time to see the last of the autumn colours.
I stopped at Butchers Dam just outside of Alexandra where the lake was still, clear and reflective. A very rare occurrence in these parts. The week before I had driven through and the colours were bright and crisp, they had faded somewhat after the weekends rain, but still beautiful anyway.
I also stopped at Cromwell in time to see this beautiful days end. Again this stillness of the Dunstan is rarely ever seen. I think this is the only time I've seen it quite this calm and I've been driving this route for a couple of years now

Top Of The Lake
Top of the lake, AKA Glenorchy. And one shot in Kinloch.
Misty morning that broke out into a sunny day. Stunning through and through!

Winter time!
On the way home from Christchurch this week. We had a massive snowfall in the south the week before and there was huge amounts of snow in some areas. The drive was stunning - and slow with al the stops I had to make to look at and photograph the scenes.
