Clouds and Ice

Of course you can watch “Game of Thrones” if you want to see a wall of ice, but no TV screen nor photo quite catches the majesty of the real thing.

Clouds are a real feature of life on the West Coast of NZ. Moody and beautiful clouds float through your life obscuring mountains and forests but creating their own mystical landscape and then occasionally they lift to reveal just how spectacular the obscured scenery really is.

If you ever get a chance don’t miss the Glaciers of NZ.

After a recent move to the west coast of New Zealand, I find myself out and about helping the Grey District Library to promote their summer reading challenge. It has been a wonderful opportunity to see more of this fabulous place. It may be wet but well worth a visit.

The beaches don’t have a lot of golden sand, but you can get up close and personal with the local inhabitants.

Even our dog is enjoying the fresh air and open spaces, not to mention cooking over an open fire.

Of course it wouldn’t be the west coast without a waterfall, this is on my way to the foot of the Franz Josef glacier.
