Forest.

Even a young kiwi appreciates the immeasurable worth of our cherished native forests. The exhilarating and awe-inspiring experience of witnessing our native cabbage trees, especially when swaying in the energising nor-westerly wind. A resilient climate, a flourishing ecosystem, and a deep reservoir of our distinct culture. Nonetheless, our forests and other invaluable habitats hang precariously, endangered by the looming threat of conversion into farmlands, pastures, exotic plantations, or lost to urban development.

About

Welcome to Photo Quest NZ

Hi, I’m developing and maintaining this site in response to family, friends and acquaintances asking how to purchase my images. And more recently how to make them!

I love making creative images that elicit an emotional feeling.

Apart from photography I’m a committed conservationist (recently serving on the Otago Conservation Board), tramper and cross country skier. (And I also build web sites like this one!)

Cheers

Donald
