  1. Here are some more views mostly from the Cascade Saddle walk, including Mount Māori (thanks for the id!), a tarn with tufts, and a silty stream. #SouthernAlps #tramping

  2. I spent my copious free time in March writing a trip report for our Cascade Saddle tramp in February. It sure is scenic. #NZ #tramping #SouthernAlps

  3. I was just sorting through some photos I took of the frosty winter's morning on Wednesday. I noticed a speck of dust above the mountains on a photo (sometimes I get dust on my DSLR sensor). I was about to clean it off the image when I looked closer. No, it's a *hot air balloon*!

    The view from up there must have been spectacular.

    I've put a low-res version here with a crop of the balloon. Click through to Flickr if you want the full-res DSLR experience.

  7. Castle Hill / Kura Tāwhiti 🪨❄️

    Nestled in the Southern Alps, these ancient limestone formations are more than just a dramatic backdrop.
    Sacred to Ngāi Tahu, praised by the Dalai Lama as a "spiritual centre of the universe", and featured in The Chronicles of Narnia, its always beautiful in winter time.

  8. The world’s only alpine parrot – the curious, clever, and often mischievous kea 🦜

    Photographed here in its natural habitat in Otira, New Zealand, with the snow-covered Southern Alps as a backdrop. These endangered birds are full of personality and play a vital role in our mountain ecosystems.
    Let’s protect what’s left.
