Last Chance: South Island

Some South Island scenes I haven’t posted yet … or may have forgotten if I already did. Sharing them now before the year closes, for Tina’s Lens Artist Photo Challenge with the theme “Last Chance”.

A last glimpse of autumn purple at NZ Alpine Lavender Farm.

The South Island skies is always dramatic, vast, and endlessly moving.

The beauty of vast, open views at the Shammara Alpaca Farm.

Moody grey skies drifting over the mountains.

The sunset skies in Lake Tekapo.

Akaroa while having a break from walking.

Photos from April 2025.
