Along The Path There's always another path to investigate, and there's always another brow of another hill to see what's on the other side! I wonder what's over here? - #Twizel #NewZealand. - "Look with your eyes. See with your Soul." #LeadingLines #Landscape #Photography #Sunset #EastCoastKin

It Wasn't Me! No-one saw me do it, can't prove anything! Either I'm having a laugh at how well this overexposure came out, or I've miscalculated the power of my new Quantum Reactor. - "Look with your eyes. See with your Soul" #Oops #BoomToday #NoBoomTomorrow #Nightscape #Stunday #EastCoastKin

Diamond Ring 1/2 You mend my heart, and make it whole. You polish, burnish, Blackened Soul. You light the days, delight my nights. Share with, witness, wondrous sights I'm not an outward sort of man but I have hatched a sort of plan... -- #Eclipse #Moon #Flare #Stunday #EastCoastKin #Diamond

Apparition 1/2 As a sliver of light returned, a strange feeling overcame me... an oddness, surpassing even that of the Totality. And try as I might, the camera simply would not focus upon the moon! #Eclipse #Apparition #WhatDoYouSee #Eclipse #Moon #Scape #EastCoastKin #NewZealand #Landscape

Airglow Eclipse In the hour of totality, there was still a lot of light. Curious, I pointed the second camera to the south - and discovered quite a vibrant airglow in effect. -- #Twizel, #NewZealand. -- "Look with your eyes, See with your Soul" #Night #Landscape #Astro #Galaxy #EastCoastKin #Art

Lone Tree I've made a couple of attempts to capture this tree looking nice, it has a few good angles, but I've never found quite the right light. Until today. Nice rich setting sun giving everything that little hint of gold. 1/2 #Sunset #GoldenHour #Photography #Landscape #EastCoastKin #Scape

The Roll The Storm crashes over the ranges, but somehow leaves one huge cylinder of chaos rolling and twisting over Ben Ohau. - #Twizel, #NewZealand - "Look with your eyes. See with your Soul." #Storm #BlackAndWhite #Landscape #Photography #Scape #Stunday #EastCoastKin #PureNZ

The White Tree Early morning. So early, the mist lies heavy on the water, and the birds are still half asleep. I'm not exactly awake either, running on no more than coffee and a vision of this tree in fog. - #Wanaka, NewZealand - "Look with your eyes. See with your Soul." #Stunday #EastCoastKin

Glimpses I had a plan for tonight's moonrise, but the clouds had other ideas! But I did rather like the glimpses of moon through the thinner clouds as it rose higher. - #Twizel, #NewZealand - "Look with your eyes. See with your Soul." #FullMoon #Night #Scape #EastCoastKin #Photography #Art
