This old house is every bit as cool as it looks. It almost looks like a set out of a movie, it could not be more perfect. Finally got here on what started as a last-minute solo outing to Rowena Crest, where I ended up running into Jamey, Greg, Vinny, Dene, and many others. After an enjoyable breakfast and visit to the farmhouse, they continued onward. I headed back for some overdue sleep!

This uber-cool view is commonly seen and an obvious choice for this location. A little too wide for my wide angle lens; an extra mm or two would have been nice as 12mm wasn't enough.

I had a bit of a trade-off to make here. I would have liked to show the violent nature of the falls themselves with all of that water churning over the brink, but at the same time, get the swirlie pool of water below. In the end I went for the swirlie pool using a 64x (6-stop) ND filter.

A new building near Georges Dock in Liverpool. I photographed this last week, but the skies were grey so here's another image of the building. Todays problem was the sun was in the top left of the image so had to wait until it was behind a cloud.

So its a classic view taken a million billion times before. But can you blame anyone for wanting a photo here, its a truly mindblowing location.

I had just finished doing the Kepler and Milford tracks back to back when I got here. Totally knackered I spent one night here and probably spent most of the time here trying to take photos. Not ideal having to get up at 6.30am when you just want a day in bed.

To add some interest and something a wee bit different I got some amazing guy to stand around for 30s for this shot.

Its quite heavily processed, maybe overdone I haven't decided yet.
