A very remote landscape

The weather has been trying of late, so not much to report here. However during the week I've had cause consider another expedition voyage to Fiordland, so I thought I'd share some of my favourite landscape photography images of one section of Fiordland made on a similar visit there in 2005 on board Elwing with my friends Arthur and Barbara. Maybe "seascape" would be a more fitting word to use!

Some of New Zealand's wildest coastline at peace...

Yip, I'm going to try to get back one day! It's a haunting, very large and enchanting place is Dusky. So often too it felt like Capt. Cook and his Resolution had just left 2 weeks ago rather than over 200 years ago. He and his crew did such audacious and elegant exploration back in 1773, in the times of horrific and draconian events in Western Europe. Such a contrast in history!

The most audacious image I've ever seen made on this remote coastline is by the famous New Zealand landscape photographer Andris Apse. I really recommend clicking the link
