Just outside my beloved accommodation in Jodhpur, Northwest India. What a trip that was!

As the forecast front approaches I managed to get a quick stitch in of the iconic lighthouse at the Castlepoint settlement. Not the calm evening light I was hoping for but dramatic in its own right I guess.

A touch of spring in North Hagley Park, Christchurch. One small corner of the park shows off its delicate side in the first few weeks of spring.

An opportunist shot taken from the back of my cabin on the fringes of Lake Tekapo during the big snowstorm in early July. I hunkered down under another large Redwood to get this shot as the snow pounded down.

I was sunset shooting at the Kaikoura Peninsular when the gulls that were gracing my foreground got spooked. Quite an eerie effect as they made a run for it.

Kaiteriteri Beach at the top of New Zealand's, South Island. A very popular retreat in the summer months, but in the middle of winter we were the only ones there. I used a 10 stop ND filter to give me a very long exposure. The idea was to try and add some interest to the moving clouds. This is the resulting 8 minute exposure!

The last of the Chilean ash cloud last time round the globe. Apparently its here again but dull cloudy mornings havent given us the opportunities to make the most of the treat. This is taken at Redcliffs near Sumner with Shag Rock in the far distance.

A very brief splash of colour this morning before the cloud became all to much for it. This is taken at Redcliffs, a coastal suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand. I managed to attract quite a possie of weekend photographers by this point!

Dawn breaking over the Christchurch coastline. Amazing fog prevailed at first light but unfortunately the friendly fog left as quickly as it came. Still.. another beautiful autumn dawn where the usual temperatures for this time of year are continuing to escaping us....

The main street in the old gold mining town of Arrowtown near Queenstown, New Zealand. The town lights up in beautiful hues of orange and red for a very short time in early autumn.
