Sometimes, a little break is what we all need.
After all those weary days, weeks and even year packed with never-ending deadlines, demanding requests and back-to-back meetings, all we crave is a little peace and quiet. Or in my case, a little road trip to beautiful nature with my loved ones, doing what we love most.
I recently read the @OliverKIWI post about a love letter to photography and I have to say, I have been in love with photography since I don’t know when. For sure, I often use photography as my refuge. Not a professional one, but I always enjoy the opportunity to capture some of those special places and moments around us, as best as I can.
So recently, as we embarked on a 11-day-on-the-road trip exploring the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand, we stopped by in Lake Tekapo, one of the popular spots in this region. We certainly didn’t want to miss the chance to photograph the place. One solemn (and rather cold) evening, my family and I decided to stick around and explore the lake, parking outside the Good Shepherd Church,- a unique, rather small, picturesque church made of stone, that beautifully sit on the bank of Lake Tekapo.
And staying here, witnessing magical sceneries that nature presented at different hours, was truly rewarding.
Here are some of the photos taken around Lake Tekapo and the Church of the Good Shepherd.
One during the golden hour…
One with purplish hues … my favorite!
And the starry night, after the sun completely set and stars shone bright. Almost midnight time during summer days…
As you can see, nature is very mesmerizing.
Exactly what I need to recharge my soul.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do @OliverKIWI @TravellerG @Ddimitra @AdamGT @Mikeinthefalls
