Fence post in The Hakataramea Valley
I spent the hours pre and post sunrise chasing interesting spots in the Hakataramea Valley. Tucked away in the Waimate District, the Hakataramea Valley sits at the foot of Kirkliston range in the South Island of New Zealand and is a wonderful spot. The Haka is a glorious location to be in the mornings, they can be unbelievably cold and have a deafening silence that seems to echo throughout the valley as the light appears over the Campbell Hills, bringing a new day to the surrounding ranges.
The former National Bank in Kurow
I was on the way to Omarama via lakes going by the names of Aviemore and Benmore, and small towns with names like Kurow and Otematata. By the time I arrived in Kurow, I was ready for a bite to eat and wander in the sunshine. So, having purchased lunch at a local bakery and eaten it in the sun – I enjoyed a quiet stroll around the rural town by heading off in the direction of Otematata.

First light on the Kirkliston Range in the Hakataramea Valley on Homestead Road. Tucked away in the Waimate District, the Hakataramea Valley sits at the foot Kirkliston range in the South Island of New Zealand. This image brought to mind a poetic line when I was working on it. But then again, photography links very closely with poetry.
