A panorama of the mountain range near Omarama, bordering South Canterbury and Otago. The morning of this day I was stuck in one of the worst blizzards you could imagine. But by the afternoon the weather started to break and gave us enough time to get out of our snowed in cabin and make the drive further south.

Taken deep in the Waitaki Valley in Southern Canterbury. Beyond the distant range the roads were becoming impassable but on this side the only weather to contend with was the howling southerly gale. I decided to use this to my advantage and let the foreground tussocks behave appropriately.

The calm after the storm. Hard to believe just hours prior to this shot I was digging out the vehicle in one of the worst blizzards theyve had in these parts for some time. The gale force winds have put the melt into high-speed mode!

A panoramic view across the MacKenzie Basin near Omarama, Central Otago. A cold front had just passed through with the first flick of snow of the season.

As Central Otago burns in the summer heat the dry river beds come alive for a few weeks with a swath of colour as the lupins burst into full bloom
