From the Archives

Girl and Kea (March 23, 2007)

Gorgeous girl and alpine parrot sharing a table at a café in Arthur’s Pass. You can probably tell who had my undivided attention.

PhotoShelter Gallery (March 18, 2007)

More photography news: A selection of images from the South Island are now available for purchase from PhotoShelter. They should also be available from Alamy within a few weeks.

Below, a shot of mighty Franz Josef glacier, in the South West New Zealand World Heritage Area.

Pyrotechnics (March 15, 2007)

French performers Groupe F put on a show in the Auckland Domain the other day, for an appreciative crowd of 200000. There was music, fireworks and dudes on stilts with flames coming out of their backpacks.

Blue Pools (March 7, 2007)

Blue Pools, near Haast Pass. Not the craziest turquoise we came across in the South Island (more on that later), but very pretty.

Milford Layers (March 5, 2007)

And so, to start our coverage from the South Island, here is a shot from iconic Milford Sound. The Sound was experiencing the worst drought on record: 19 days without rain! But while the waterfalls may have been diminished, the scenery still blew us away.

Mailstorm (March 4, 2007)

Just back from New Zealand's South Island, and the email inbox is looking a bit dire. If you have sent me an email in the last three weeks, please be patient while I work my way through the backlog.
