As much as I love photography, I realise there are some images too stunning to be captured on film, just as there are some places so phenomenal that nothing I write here will do them justice. Take the fjordland of New Zealand. It is everything trite you get on a postcard- misty jagged peaks, glaciers, pristine lakes, and waterfalls at every turn. The area is New Zealand at its most raw, and it is amazing. Having realised that my pictures and future words would only do the area an injustice, I sat on the bow of the ship and just watched as we sailed into the sound. Although the area is one of the rainiest in the world, getting an average of 3 metres of rain per year, we had nothing but clear blue skies. The captain said he hadn’t seen weather so nice in over a year. Just as we passed to the right of a spectacular glacier, a group of about 15 dolphins decided to join us. They came up alongside the boat, jumping up in the air and doing all kinds of strange flips and turns as the hopped out of the water. We all sat and stared in amazement. Even the captain said that never in his life had he seen something so….magically weird.
