Going as Far South As Ever Before

Or, "If there was no gravity, I'd've fallen off the Earth."


I may or may not have done a dance when I saw I had 8 subscribers. Thanks, guys!


This is the last of my South Island photo-journeys.

Takitimu Mountains. Important in the Maori legend of the creation of New Zealand.

The most south-western point of the NZ highway system. The sun shone over the incoming rain.

As I wore layers and layers of socks, my blisters healed in two days.

Day four gave me THIS little gem. I was so pleased.

Thanks, Invercargill. This is how I feel about you when I have to walk around the hostel to get to the shady alleyway car park because the gates are locked.

But after the rain comes the rainbow.


Forget Land of the Long White Cloud. It should be Called Land of the Brightest Rainbows Ever. How do you say that in Maori?

Typical south New Zealand farmland scenery.

Grass tussocks down south.

I think here is where the filmed Fantasia. You know the part where Mickey is a sorcerer and is conjuring up waves. You don’t know?


This part.

Running to get a self-portrait.

And there we go. As close to the South Pole I’ve ever been.

Well, THIS is as close as I’ve ever been to the South Pole.

On the other side of the crashing waves was this scenic landscape.

Chilling at Nugget point.

Windy up there, but pretty incredible view.


Little Nuggets.

Check it out!

Looking up.

Looking down.

Looking tired.

Central Otago landscapes. No big deal. NBD.

I think at this moment, God was finger-painting with clouds.

The Remarkables. North side!

 The morning I left, this treasure greeted me on the way to the airport.

The end.
