Given the interest a few weeks back on my post “An outing in the Ahuriri Valley on Search and Rescue work“, I thought I’d post a few images of the larger area.

Concepts on how New Zealand landscape photography and fine art can be used to stimulate our imaginations to make the world a better and more gentle place. With photos, and some words, we explore with nomadic tendencies and inherited wizardry, all that is New Zealand, and it did not all begin with Lord of the Rings!

Yes, it can be deadly, but it’s really “us” that get us into trouble. The hills are neither for or against us, but don’t suffer foolish actions too well.
Cheers

Hi Donald, Wonderful and such sharp photos. Tramped up there 45 years ago, or was it more. Appreciate your blog when I can find time in these increasingly busy days.
Hi Bob, thanks for popping by.
You’ll just have to limit the hob-nobbing in FaceBook maybe [wink].
Yes, a special valley for us Otago’ites!
Cheers
Donald
