The Photo Gallery: Expressions from an Autumn Holiday in Queenstown

It’s beautiful here on holiday in Queenstown. The autumn colours are breathtaking and the light works its magic on the landscapes like an artist’s paint-brush.

Otago in Autumn

The expressions of our children, enjoying their holiday, are plentiful to light up our hearts too.

Her face radiant in the autumn light…

So much fun

And yet serious when exploring something new in nature too…

Tentative and serious

Her seven year old sister, Sophie, is having a blast of a time too. This capture, by her Daddy, of her riding the ‘Skyline Luge’ is absolutely hilarious – so ‘Lightening McQueen’!

Every bend in the road brings a new expression on the landscape…

Wanaka

Every sigh in the weather, brings a new expression of mood on the earth…

As the season of autumn motions the winter to come, the landscape, like our faces, shows a change in expression…

Changing seasons

We are here, in nature’s playground, on holiday, our expressions filled with pleasure, laughter and excitement as we sample all the fun that is to enjoy in autumn’s beautiful light.

The day, from dawn to dusk, ever changing its expression on the land, keeping our eyes and hearts filled with delight.
