Jan Legutko - landscape photosA stone church built in 1935, the Church of the Good Shepherd is one of New Zealand’s 🇳🇿 most photographed landmarks—especially during lupine season when the lakeside bursts into a riot of purples and pinks. It’s a place where faith and alpine beauty collide, set against the turquoise waters of Lake Tekapo and the Southern Alps.<br>

Dag-Rune ZFeeling yellow, feeling blue<br>
<br>
A warm sunny sunset by the sea is clearly there to be enjoyed, being a bird or not.<br>
<br>
The kāruhiruhi, as the Māori calls this pied shag cormorant, is a medium sized bird and spread around all of Zealandia and Oz. It is pretty used to humans and allow us to observe it without too much fuzz.<br>

Like this fellow on the shore of Kaikōura, South Island, Aotearoa New Zealand.<br>

Dag-Rune Z- You are not supposed to smoke that!<br>
Having a Monty Python moment at Rakiura<br>
The strict stare og 2,6-meter wingspan of the white-capped albatross certainly reminds us of the great John Cleese and the Monty Python classic.<br>
This Aotearoa albatross is a regular of the southern New Zealand islands. Rakiura / Stewart Island itself has observed visits from 11 variants of this bird species with the giant wingspan. Probably because Rakiura is surrounded by large undisturbed ocean with great fishing, and the island has large areas with hills and cliffs and not too many humans.<br>
Probably for the best. Observing, or being observed, by albatrosses several times both at South Island and Rakiura, this bird is obviously very curious. And they should be separated from too much human interference and disturbance.<br>
But then you walk and suddenly feel watched…<br>

Also known as Milford Sound, this fjord in Fiordland National Park on New Zealand’s South Island is one of the country’s most popular natural attractions. It’s often explored by boat to take in the dramatic landscape – from towering peaks and cascading waterfalls to the chance of spotting fur seals.<br>

<br>
This particular rock in Milford Sound has become a favorite spot for New Zealand fur seals. Thanks to its sloped surface and close proximity to the water, the seals can easily haul themselves up to rest, warm up, or socialize – earning it the name 'seal rock'.<br>

Dag-Rune ZTomtit Ngirungiru on a stick in Rakiura<br>
<br>
Tomtit balancing twigs, break and curiosity<br>
The Ngirungiru, or Tomtit, is a very small passerine bird in the Robins-family Petroicidae.<br>
With a maximum length of 12 cm and a weight of 11 gram, it is basically the size of two Ping-Pong balls with wings and tail.<br>
<br>
Frenetic enthusiastic<br>
It is also very curious and enthusiastic. Meaning that when it decides you are not a threat when you meet one up close in the forest, it will follow you along for some time. But in a frenetic pattern, jumping between the trees, branches, trail and back up again.<br>
<br>
And then maybe, maybe, just be still for a couple of seconds where you get a reasonable shot. Like this one in the forest at Rakiura, Aotearoa.<br>
<br>
There are five subspecies of Tomtits, and they have different names in Māori. The South Island and Rakiura Stewart Island variant is called Ngirungiru. The North Island is called Miromiro. And as a loveable little fellow, there are several other Māori and English name for it. Tomtit is an adaptable feather ball, and lives well with most of the changes made to the biodiversity of New Zealand.<br>

Dag-Rune ZHow to get away from Cape Foulwind <br>
With a name like Cape Foulwind, you may understand why you want to get away. And how far you must go.<br>
Here the Europeans, the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman, anchored in Aotearoa (and later naming it New Zealand), for the first time in 1642. The weather was probably good, and he called the outcrop Cliff Rock.<br>
Then the English Captain James Cook found this place in 1770 under probably worse conditions. He named it Cape Foulwind. Since the English won the competition of ruling Aotearoa, the name stuck.<br>
<br>
Signs, and what to do<br>
This signpost is close to the fur seal colony in Tauranga Bay, on a windy, salty and fresh spot to get a good outlook of the area. On this track going south from Cape Foulwind Lighthouse there are stiff cliffs down to pebble beaches and the Tasman Sea, and low rolling hills towards the mountains in east.<br>
This area is a nice spot to stop, relax and enjoy the outlook and beach, especially if you are a surfer. Or hike along the trails and exhibit some coastal flora and fauna of the West Coast Region in South Island. And some fresh, varying weather conditions.<br>
Included an old, secluded track-and-bowl-system near the lighthouse.<br>
The seal colony is well protected, but easy observable from a safe distance from the walking track. The closest town is Westport, and they have all necessary amenities from lodging to food, drinks and hiking equipment.<br>
