Landscapes Left Behind

For a few years now I've been photographing the limestone karst country that lies on the coastal margin extending from Raglan to Port Waikato, situated on the west coast of New Zealand's North Island. Here exists a relict landscape lying amidst farmland - a stunning micro-landscape that offers us a glimpse of what was here before man colonised this country and began wildly swinging his axe.

I am blessed to have permission to wander this land - to look and see, to quietly observe, and to photograph. Some days a photographer friend and I journey there together, and then go our separate ways, returning late in the day to excitedly share our discoveries of beauty and form in the landscape.

More photographs of this landscape can be seen here:
