         		 25 months after the 6.3 earthquake struck Christchurch on February 22, 2011, the effects are still strikingly visible. After arriving into the city I made my way to the CBD and started to explore the red zone, areas of the city still closed off to the public. The damage was shocking. It is one thing to watch news reports on TV, but walking amongst the reality of it was surreal. It was hard not to feel as if I was walking on a movie set, this was so far beyond anything I had ever experienced. It was all very interesting and sad at the same time. It was hard not to feel a small level of guilt walking around and taking photos. : by rb_photo, Views[411]
         		 Wharariki Beach: It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to arrive at Wharariki Beach, a compulsory walk from the carpark that stretches through farm paddocks and forest, but the coastline is one of the most beautiful and famous in the region.: by philiphuddy, Views[320]
         		 Yellow-eyed Penguin at Moeraki: Also known as the Hoiho, this is an endangered, native penguin found in the South Island. As with all penguins, he can't fly, which made it easy to follow this one as he wandered around Moeraki Light-house beach searching for breakfast with his colony.: by philiphuddy, Views[1073]
     
    Lake McKenzie at Dawn: This picturesque lake is a reward on the Routeburn Track, a 32km track in New Zealand’s South Island that weaves through the valleys and lakes of the Southern Alps.: by philiphuddy, Views[305]
         		 View of Lake Wanaka from Roys Peak: Roys Peak is a full day’s walk, including a steep, winding trail of thick grass up one side, but the summit gives views of the mountainous landscapes and lakes that New Zealand is known for.: by philiphuddy, Views[314]

         		 Oblivious to the giants surrounding us, civilization expands, forever occupied and isolated.: by mauao, Views[152]
     
    It was here that his final resting place will be, named by the people as Mauao or Mount Maunganui, caught by the morning sun.: by mauao, Views[188]
         		 It was early dawn and as the sun rose the magical powers of the Patupaiarehe wore off. Set in stone just shy of the pacific ocean and his goal. : by mauao, Views[236]
         		 Knowing his love she will never embrace, the nameless hill decides to end it all. Calling on the Patupaiarehe, a magical people to help haul him to the ocean gouging out a valley on the way to the ocean.: by mauao, Views[199]
         		 There was once a hill with no name who lived on the edge of the Hautere forest. Looked down on and disrespected, Pononga a slave to the great chief, Otanewainuku. To the southwest was a beautiful hill adorned in fine ferns and trees. The nameless one was desperately in love.: by mauao, Views[396]
         		 Endemic Campbell albatross chicks glisten in the mid-summer sun as they sit atop their mud pedestals waiting for their parents to return from foraging trips out over the Campbell Plateau. Only 3 months more before the chicks will test out their own wings as the summer draws to a close. : by raorben, Views[366]
     
    After incubation starts in late December young Southern Royal Albatrosses gather in gams on the windy ridges of Campbell Island to dance and sing. It is not until around age 9 that they will find a mate and begin the process of learning to raise a chick. : by raorben, Views[218]
         		 Stepping onto a Brown Skua territory, the loud calls of the pair tell me that their eggs have hatched and somewhere among the yellow bulbinella flowers there are two downy grey chicks. In a world without mammalian predators skuas have little to fear as they prowl the penguin and albatross colonies. : by raorben, Views[241]
         		 The curious dark brown eyes of a Grey-headed albatross great me on my way to check on our study birds. This bird is likely still too young to breed and is visiting the colony in search of a nesting territory and a mate. : by raorben, Views[598]
         		 The view from the southwest point of Campbell Island, a small island in the New Zealand Sub-Antarctic. Rats were eradicated here xx years ago and megaherbs, like those in the foreground flourish. The island is the breeding ground for 6 albatross species, 2 penguins species, along with other seabirds, endemic land birds and the endangered New Zealand Sea Lion. As a biologist it was my home for four months, while studying the at-sea movements of albatrosses using miniature GPS data loggers. : by raorben, Views[982]
