What a wonderful place New Zealand is during summer. The country comes alive with boats, surfboards, bikes, slushies and ice creams that drip onto the footpath. The days are long, the weather is deliciously warm and the summer evenings perfect for drinking a glass or two of your favourite drop while the air is filled with the smell of the classically Kiwi bbq sizzling away as the sun slips from sight. Yes, it’s these idealistic and wistful perspective’s of summer I hold on to as I patiently wait for 9 months to pass and summer to roll around once more on December the 1st. Of course, my memories of summer might suggest I live in fictitious times as Dunedin’s summer doesn’t seem to truly get going until mid January. Let’s remember the weather leading up to New Years Day had been average at best and 3 days of heavy rain caused widespread flooding. Thankfully though summer found us here in the south of Aeotearoa. Meaning, we could soak up some rays while following our Prime Ministers advice. Explore your own backyard.

I've mentioned before about the summer colour palette. Here's another example with soft pinks and yellows in this long exposure I took down at St Clair Beach. Here's a photo from St Kilda beach that I really love. It's got all the colours of a traditional summer palette. There's blues and greens that are close to nature and contrasted with soft pinks and yellows. It's cool and elegant in an understated way. So much much to love.

Happy Friday everyone and enjoy the long weekend. New Zealand's only castle! I love this area of the garden at Larnach's Castle, isn't that old wishing well just grand!
