Lost World

"Words fail to describe the exotic beauty & diversity of the landscape at Te Hapu, on the west coast of the South Island (approx 50km south of Farewell Spit). Not only is it incredibly unique & remote, but it keeps surprising you with different views around every corner. I first learned about it after seeing a newspaper advertisement in a hut up the Cobb valley, but it took me 5 years before I actually got around to going there, how silly was I? Aside from stunning groves of nikau sitting on a idyllic stretch of coastline,  the limestone geology has created incredible rock formations that defy description. I captured this image soon after we first arrived, luckily we had just enough time to reach this beach as the sun popped out of the cloud & this all too brief show was on, but only for a couple of minutes. An absolute paradise, it felt as if we had entered a lost world."
