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.

The kea (Nestor notabilis) is the world’s only alpine parrot—clever, curious, and full of character.

Photographed here mid-call, this juvenile is part of a nationally endangered species found only in New Zealand.

The Kea Conservation Trust estimates fewer than 7,000 individuals remain in the wild. Threats include lead poisoning, predation, habitat loss, and human conflict.

Spending time with these New Zealand fur seal pups is one of the greatest joys for me.
Curious, playful, and full of personality—each one is a reminder of what we’re protecting.

There’s something deeply moving about looking into the eyes of a seal — a mix of wildness, vulnerability, and resilience.

Photographing these incredible marine mammals has become one of my greatest passions. I want people to truly see them — not just as animals, but as individuals navigating an increasingly fragile world.

I grew up on a farm here in the South Island and have had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. These days, my pet is Max — a miniature Highland cow with a big personality and even bigger hair. Life wouldn’t be the same without him. 🐮💚

Just had a tasting and a tour through vineyards at Yealands winery. Reasonable price (10nzd, although the sippings were small, on the other hand- no risk of drunk driving), beautiful road made for cycling or driving through vineyards, giving option to see them up close.

Went to the South Island for Christmas: Gillespie Circuit, Mueller Hut, grebes at #Wanaka... Here's a trip report.

https://patricklam.ca/post/20230120-south-island-adventures/

Like everyone in New Zealand and many people from overseas, we flew in to Queenstown. Got away from the huge hordes by going to Wanaka (small hordes) and Mount Cook Village (some visitors). Did many of the things we’d been planning: Gillespie Circuit, glacier kayaking, Mueller Hut. Also went rock climbing in Wanaka. #birds #grebes #SouthIslandNZ #mosstodon

The bloke and I hired e-bikes today and cruised around Queenstown’s wineries. Spectacular. Five stars. Although there is a limit to how much wine one can consume and remain in control of a powered bicycle. #newzealand #southislandnz #wine #ebike
