Since we did not wish to stay directly at Milford Sound, we chose the lovely lakeside town of Te Anau as our base to explore the region and the Sound for a few days. After the previous day’s stormy weather, we were greeted with a beautifully tranquil day… time to get the cameras out…!

Just outside Te Anau on the road to Milford Sound there are so many beautiful opportunities for photography… as expected we found ourselves stopping frequently to capture the scenery…
