New Zealand, known as Aotearoa in the Maori language, is known for its undulating landscape, offering countless scenic and photographic opportunities, hence its use as the set for The Lord Of The Rings trilogy. While driving through the country, I was constantly baffled by its natural beauty. Every time I’d think I was looking at the most beautiful landscape, a day or two later I’d come across a scene that amazed me even more. This was taken near Mt. Cook on New Zealand’s South Island.
