Photograph Lake Te Anau

The famous Milford Track in New Zealand's Fiordland National Park starts at Glade Wharf on Lake Te Anau where this photo was taken in the early morning. The Milford Track is a 4-day hike from Lake Te Anau to Milford Sound and passes through some of the most spectacular scenery in New Zealand.

Photograph of Lake Wakatipu, New Zealand

New Zealand offers some of the finest scenery in the world for landscape photography. I had the privilege of growing up there, but have only recently seen much of its most beautiful places going back to my homeland as a tourist visiting from my adopted home of California.

One of the most popular, and now in my opinion a "victim of its own success", is Queenstown, an alpine resort town sitting on the edge of Lake Wakatipu.

This photograph of Lake Wakatipu was taken from Highway 6 en route from Queenstown to Kingston which is located at the southern end of the lake. The photo was taken about half-way from a view point at the side of the road.
