A Roadtrip and Autumn in Arrowtown

Dunedin to Arrowtown

Picture
On the Sunday after the Provincial Powerlifting Champs I took a slightly longer road home. I had never taken this way before and it was STUNNING. It was windy with some cloud so the light shifted constantly. The landscape changed suddenly as I drove through one geological substrate to another. The Rock and Pillar Range, The schist torrs, the Maniototo, the Hawkdun Range have all got to be seen to be believed. Seriously, If you're travelling from Central Otago through to Dunedin during the day, make the time to take this route. It's very well worth it.

I would normally take State Highway 8 through Alexandra to Roxburgh to Dunedin, but this map shows the amazing way: Turn off at Clyde towards Ranfurly and go through Middlemarch onto Dunedin.
Of course I stopped to take photos. Couldn't help it.

Arrowtown in Autumn

Picture
It wasn't long after I got a smartphone that my 'big' camera got forgotten about. The iPhone's photograpahy is great. Really, it's incredible what we can do with that machine that fits in our pocket. My 'big' (as in can't fit in my pocket) Cannon Powershot SX40 is a few years old and is only made for the casual photography market, but it's still just a smidge better than an iPhone. 
Recently I got the camera out for the first time in a couple of years. How could I not, surrounded by such beauty? I'm not a photographer by any means, but I'm enjoying it. I'm throwing some photos up here because I can.
