Fiordland National Park in southwest New Zealand is a World Heritage Site, and is a totally stunning glaciated natural environment of deep fiords, dense rain forests, granite peaks, lakes and waterfalls. The National Park has a very high annual rainfall and the weather can change rapidly from one moment to the next. During a cruise on Doubtful Sound, we experienced a wide variety of different weather, including this beautiful rainbow as the sun briefly broke through the thick low clouds and heavy rain squalls.

We’ll be traveling down to Hertfordshire tomorrow to see my daughter et al and to be honest I started to get a little anxious about the drive. I’ve never been a keen driver for long distances, but as needs must over the years I’ve had to drive all over. For work I was up to the midlands all the time and now all my family live away so staying in touch involves lots of traveling. Prior to the pandemic I was regularly doing 700 miles round trips visiting the grandchildren, but now after 14 months of relative no driving these epic distances are a little daunting. It’s a confidence thing and I’m sure once well into the journey I’ll be ok, hopefully keeping the toilet stops down to one and I can persevere the leg aches that I will sure to get. So take my mind of it here is a #waveWednesday taken back in April, called Shape shifter. It’s a rare wave photo in that it’s not taken with my Canon 7dmkii and 100-400 combo sitting on a tripod. I decided to go light and local on the afternoon of this storm, carrying my fujifilm XH1 and 70-300mm lens plus 1.4x, all taken handheld. It was an experiment, the results were OK, but it won’t replace my DSLR for these sessions in a hurry.
