Photo of Snowy Mountain and Fog

This snowy mountain wrapped in fog greeted me as I traveled the road to Milford Sound.

Roadscape Mountain Valley With Fog

Photographers know that the best photos are often captured at the beginning and end of the day. For a start with the sun low you get more shadows that add interest to your photos, plus the color of the light at the beginning and end of the day typically has more gold and red in it. And then to cap it all, there is often fog in the early hours of the day that adds an additional ineresting feature to your photos. While driving the road to Milford Sound I came upon this spot where the fog was still lifting out of one of the mountain valleys.

Photo of Grassland Meadow and Mountains

This grassland meadow was actually an intense gold color but it appears washed out in this jpg file. Unfortunately a lot of color information is lost when converting the uncompressed image file to allow for fast internet download.

More information about the photo and location and a larger image can be viewed by clicking the image.

I appreciate any comments you care to make about this and any of my photos posted at ArikiArt.

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.
