Tawny Frogmouth, Rainforest Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary, Port Douglas, Australia, March 2011
The last week of March 2011 I went on a trip to Queensland, Australia. I met up with my parents, who were travelling there. The trip started in Cairns, from where we went up North to Port Douglas and the Daintree National Park. After staying in the hot and humid climate for 4 days, we went to the slightly cooler Undara, a place in the outback that is famous for its Lava Tubes. The last days of our holiday we visited the Crater Lakes National Park, to enjoy the waterfalls and rainforest. After a final snorkeling trip at Green Island, near Cairns, we headed back home.
During the trip I took some photos of the wildlife (in a reserve and in the wild).
Spaghetti Junction, Auckland, March 2011
The last four weeks I attended a photography course at Selwyn College, focussing on location and night photography. With a group of seven amateur photographers we went to several locations within Auckland just before sunset and took lots of photos, under supervision of our teacher. The end result was presented during the last course meeting. These are the photos that I selected to present there.
Mount Ruapehu, Tongariro National Park, November 2010
Last weekend we went to the Tongariro National Park to climb Mount Ngauruhoe. An hour after the start of the walk, the summit of the mountain was completely covered in clouds, so unfortunately we had to cancel the climb. Luckily, we at least got this great view on the nearby Mount Ruapehu, before also this one disappeared in the clouds.
Common Dolphin, Whale & Dolphin Safari, Hauraki Gulf, October 2010
Last weekend I went on the Auckland Whale & Dolphin Safari with a group of friends. After a one and half hour trip we saw hundreds of Common Dolphins swimming, diving and jumping around our boat. And as a bonus we came quite close to a Brydes Whale. Unfortunately no diving and jumping, but it was still very impressive to see this enormous animal.
