folded hills

The beautiful folded hills of Marlborough present the photographer with some amazing light effects especially in high summer when the light is low (sunset or sunrise). The dry, sunburned slopes of golden brown grasses reflect the light becoming a burnished wheaten gold. The deep folded valleys contrast with the sunlit tops to give a dramatic effect. In this shot you can see the starkly contrasting green of the irrigated vineyards where New Zealand's world famous sauvignon grapes are grown to produce wines acknowledged as the best of their type in the world.
