Queenstown is rather scenic, though scary how much it has changed since I first visited nearly 13 years ago #queenstown #theremarkables (at Queenstown, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnJBTPkrc_y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The rugged peaks of The Remarkables; the mountain range towers 2319 m above Queenstown at its highest point. We took a helicopter ride to get as near as we could to the peaks to get this view of the mountain terrain. At that elevated height, as I walked in search of an ideal viewpoint, the sound of the cold wind whipping past my ears was all I could hear. Shot on assignment a couple of years ago in New Zealand, it was a fantastic opportunity to explore some of this beautiful country. #newzealand #theremarkables #snowypeaks https://www.instagram.com/p/CJXWcfcA3Qe/?igshid=nm6aoqblkkwc

We had one of the best #sunsets of the year earlier this week in #QueenstownNZ! 😍 I had been sipping the gin from my previous post when the lenticular cloud over #TheRemarkables #mountainRange lit up in pale orange on on the left half and pale pink on the other (pic 2). The color dimmed and it seemed like that would be it for the night, but a few minutes later it exploded in a 180° panorama of bright pink (pic 3)! Pink so intense my camera’s sensor couldn’t capture it. The contrast of the dark lenticular layers against the pink got lost in the camera but was stunning in person. And the almost full moon was like a cherry on top. I was so glad the @kamanaqt restaurant has this great view, so I didn’t miss this #epicSunset! . . . #NewZealand #SouthIsland #SouthIslandNZ #MeanwhileinNZ #pureNZ #pureNewZealand #captureNZ #NewZealandFinds #NewZealandPhotography #NZPhotography #NewZealandNatural #NewZealandTrip #NZtravel #NewZealandGuide #destinationNZ #visitNewZealand #NewZealandVacations #TheMountainsAreCalling #MindtheMountains #LakeWakatipu #Otago #QueenstownHolidays #QueenstownLive #QueenstownLife #QueenstownInsider (at Kamana Lakehouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/CErDO_YnQLb/?igshid=a6840o8128zv

I couldn’t have painted it better than Mother Nature! 😍 A swooping white cloud flows into the #snowcappedMountains while a lone boat cuts a perfect wake on an symmetrically diagonal line through an insanely huge mirror reflection of #TheRemarkables #mountainRange on #LakeWakatipu. I mean, come on! #NewZealand is amazing. . . . #NZwinter #SouthIsland #SouthIslandNZ #MeanwhileinNZ #pureNZ #pureNewZealand #captureNZ #NewZealandFinds #NewZealandPhotography #NZPhotography #NewZealandNatural #NewZealandTrip #NZtravel #NewZealandGuide #destinationNZ #visitNewZealand #NewZealandVacations #TheMountainIsCalling #TheMountainsAreCalling #Otago #QueenstownNZ #QueenstownHolidays #QueenstownLive #QueenstownLife #QueenstownInsider (at Queenstown, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEohgiLHGsk/?igshid=1ft1jep9tanoh

Today is one of the prettiest days we’ll have all year in #QueenstownNZ! It doesn’t get any better than a bright blue sky contrasting the fully snow-covered #TheRemarkables #mountainRange with a glassy blue #LakeWakatipu to reflect the snow like a Bob Ross masterpiece. Nature at its finest! #nofilterneeded . . . #NZwinter #NewZealand #SouthIsland #SouthIslandNZ #MeanwhileinNZ #pureNZ #pureNewZealand #captureNZ #NewZealandFinds #NewZealandPhotography #NZPhotography #NewZealandNatural #NewZealandTrip #NZtravel #NewZealandGuide #destinationNZ #visitNewZealand #NewZealandVacations #TheMountainsAreCalling #MindtheMountains #Otago #QueenstownHolidays #QueenstownLive #QueenstownLife #QueenstownInsider (at Queenstown, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEnNt0cnCo6/?igshid=12umzg3y9fiis

Damn it! I went on a 2 hour hike and tried not to take a lot of photos. I sorted it down to the best ones, and there’s still 43! 🤬 Will narrow down more but going to need a few posts… #JacksPointLoop is a loop track, so the beginning and end have amazing closeup views of #TheRemarkables #mountainRange. If you’ve seen The Lord of the Rings and ever thought the mountains looked too big to be real in the background of scenes of people fleeing Rohan around a pond— this is the same angle of those same mountains! . . . #NewZealand #SouthIsland #SouthIslandNZ #MeanwhileinNZ #pureNZ #pureNewZealand #captureNZ #NewZealandFinds #NewZealandPhotography #NZPhotography #NewZealandNatural #NatureAddict #NewZealandTrip #NZtravel #NewZealandGuide #destinationNZ #visitNewZealand #NZmustDO #NZroadTrip #TheMountainIsCalling #TheMountainsAreCalling #Otago #QueenstownNZ #QueenstownHolidays #QueenstownLive #QueenstownLife #QueenstownInsider (at Jacks Point Loop Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEfvAtVH4oO/?igshid=5feflnjjzexp

Seeing an entire #mountainRange #reflection doesn’t happen very often. #LakeWakatipu is a huge lake and #TheRemarkables are huge #mountains (see the houses on the other side?), but it happened last week. 😍 . . . #NZwinter #NewZealand #SouthIsland #SouthIslandNZ #MeanwhileinNZ #pureNZ #pureNewZealand #captureNZ #NewZealandFinds #NewZealandPhotography #NewZealandNatural #NatureAddict #keepitwild #natureLover #TheMountainIsCalling #TheMountainsAreCalling #MindtheMountains #QueenstownNZ #QueenstownHolidays #QueenstownLive #QueenstownLife #QueenstownInsider (at Queenstown, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDp0PVUH7sD/?igshid=xc3ki33yr7ps
