Hooker Glacier Valley in Southern Alps that lies in Mackenzie Region is probably my favourite place on the South Island of New Zealand. I don’t know why. May be because it is very familiar to the Left Talgar River valley in the Norther Tien-Shan mountain range where I hiked great number of times. I felt...

Last Friday we had a really great sunset here in Sydney. It was absolutely stunning! I was watching it while cooking BBQ with my friends so couldn’t photograph it at all. But on Saturday I went for camping to Crowdy Bay National Park as I saw on satellite images that clouds were moving off there....

I spent two full days at Moeraki Boulders catching light. Made this shot during a light storm. Unfortunately the clouds were not as dramatic as you could expect from a storm. I was waiting for about 10 minutes until the nice cloud formation perfectly aligned with two boulders and then made this shot. Hopefully you’ll...

The Purakaunui Falls is a cascading multi-tiered waterfall on the Purakaunui River, located in the Catlins region in Otago in the southern South Island of New Zealand. It is an iconic image for southeastern New Zealand, and were featured on a New Zealand postage stamp in 1976. The Purakaunui Falls is the most photographed falls...

The road from Queenstown to Glenorchy that runs along the shore of Lake Wakatipu is rated as one of the top scenic drives in the world and the most beautiful road in New Zealand. Together with the Hooker Valley near Aoraki/Mount Cook and Lake Matheson it’s one of my favorite places in New Zealand. Also...

Lake Matheson, near the Fox Glacier in South Westland, New Zealand, is famous for its reflected views of Aoraki/Mount Cook and Mount Tasman. The waters of Lake Matheson are dark brown, so on a calm day they create the ideal reflective surface. That’s why the Lake Matheson sometimes is called “the mirror lake”. Lake Matheson...

As a Russian saying goes “For a mad dog, seven miles is not a long detour”. I can consider myself as such “mad dog” because last weekend I went from Sydney to Byron Bay just to shoot sunrise at the Cape Byron lighthouse. The Cape Byron lighthouse is located on the Cape Byron, Australia’s the...

The Moeraki Boulders are huge spherical stones, found lying along Koekohe Beach between Moeraki and Hampden on New Zealand’s Otago coast. Local Maori legends explained the Moeraki boulders as vegetables (gourds, kumaras and calabashes) washed ashore from the large sailing canoe Arai-te-uru when it was wrecked upon landfall in New Zealand hundreds of years ago....
