Snow Covered Mountain Homer Tunnel Area

Though late summer, Fiordland National Park is in the far south west corner of New Zealand's South Island, and with some very high elevations as well, it was not surprising to come across some mountain peaks with snow on them as I traveled the road to Milford Sound.

Early morning fog and snow wrap this towering peak near the Homer Tunnel on the Road to Milford Sound

Fog Filled Mountain Valley Photograph

It was early morning that I set off for Milford Sound from Lake Te Anau. The morning fog still sat in the mountain valleys as seen in this photo taken on the road from Te Anau to Milford Sound in New Zealand.

Glade Wharf Lake Te Anau

This photograph of Lake Te Anau was taken in the vicinity of Glade Wharf at the start of the famous Milford Track in New Zealand's Fiordland National Park. The Milford Track leads from near this point to Milford Sound. Four-day hikes of the track are common. Visit the New Zealand Department of Conservation website for information on hiking the Milford Track.

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 as a tourist visiting from my adopted home of California. Here are some photos I've taken over the years on my visits home to New Zealand.

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 between Queenstown and Kingston from a view point at the side of the road.
