Was such a privilege to be able to capture these amazing flowers which only show themselves 3 weeks out of the year. Turns out I wasn't the only one who got the memo about this. This location at sunset was full of drones, massive cameras, and selfie sticks. Luckily for me, most tourists don't like to wake up at 4am.

What a fabulous image of this wonderful church in NZ. None of those flowers were there when we visited many years ago now

Yeah they only bloom for about a week in late November and early December. So it was quite a treat being able to photograph them in such a beautiful location.

Lake Tekapo is a stunning area. The Lupins grow wild all over the McKenzie country, adding a delightful dash of colour.
