When I was visiting Waitangi I went to the treaty grounds which is a very spiritual place. In the Upper Grounds there’s the Treaty House and also a Wharenui called Te Whare Rūnanga, which is a carved Māori meeting house. Inside the Wharenui we were allowed to take photos of all the wonderful carvings which are amazing to see. Once I was home, and after processing the original image I decided to have a bit of fun with reflections, lines of symmetry and mirror lines to create this finished image.

While I was travelling through the North Island, I came to Porirua Harbour. Located between Plimmerton and Paremata, I crossed the bridge on Mana Esplanade and started heading towards Browns Bay. Along the way, I passed the Paremata Boat Club. It was a stunning day and the harbour was perfectly still with a slow moving tide gently rocking against the surrounding boathouses. A lovely day for walking along the water’s edge. Check out my daily blog from a small city. https://fromasmallcity.nz/ To purchase email john@caswellimages.com
Leaving Glenorchy and heading up past the head of Lake Wakatipu, then along the Glenorchy-Paradise I eventually reached Diamond Lake. From there, I continued on a way until I passed a wonderful beech forest in the Paradise Valley. To fans of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ the forest is also known as Lothlorien, realm of the Elves.
