Auckland at Sunset

When I get the chance to travel to other parts of New Zealand I naturally take as many photos as possible.

The Numerous Beaches of Dunedin

It's easy to escape and unwind in Dunedin when there are so many beaches nearby.
There are so many in fact that we often take them for granted.

As you can see from these photos most of the time the beaches are almost deserted.

Dunedin is blessed with many wonderful beaches that are only a few minutes from home. This photo was taken at Smaills Beach, which like the others, is unspoiled and tranquil

Introduction

Hi there. I have wanted to set up a blog for a while but didn't realise how easy it could be.

The general theme of this journal is to publish photos of New Zealand.

New Zealand is a beautiful country. And so far away from all the madness in this world. A safe haven. Hopefully my photos of New Zealand will convey this message.

I want people to realise life doesn't have to be a violent struggle. There is a better way.
I hope you will enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.

The photo on the right is a view of the Otago Peninsula in mid summer taken from Mt Cargill, near Dunedin. There are many areas in and around the peninsula that have become a fertile area for my landscape photos as you will see in the comming days and weeks.

Enjoy

Steve


P.S. Photography buffs - most of the photos on this site have been taken with a Sony F828 digital camera but if I have used a different camera I will try to remember to list the make and model alongside the photo caption.
