Haere Mai from Wānaka Aotearoa NZ
Photos of the South Island of New Zealand – the quest being a landscape re-imagined and then re-imaged
Oteake Conservation Park is a little north of Kyeburn in the Maniototo. It is a very large area, and as you’d expect for this area hosts a wealth of historic gold workings; many such as these ones, at high altitude.
The night before…
A couple of evenings ago a soft cold rain seemed set in, but then a few light patches appeared to support a rainbow in the north, so I rushed off to face that direction.
Meanwhile the clearance continued and looking west; well I followed my eyes.
On arrival near the famous Wanaka lake tree another excited photographer, who was rushing about, shouted out as he pointed, “is that the lonely tree?’
I gave him a thumbs up and off we scurried.
After getting this image on the fly, I lent him my tripod which seemed to surprise him – maybe they don’t do that sort of thing in Hong Kong!
