CASTLE HILL<br />
F11, 1/160s, 35mm<br />
“A spiritual centre of the universe” is what the Dalai Lama named Castle Hill when he visited this beautiful<br />
place here in New Zealand. If anyone has been here themselves, they know why he called it this.<br />
Homeward bound after a weekend road trip, we drove up to Castle Hill and I was immediately struck<br />
by the beauty of the scene before me. The overcast sky creating perfect lighting and really highlighting<br />
the colour of the grass, the recent snowfall adding interest to the impressiveness of the ancient limestone<br />
rocks with the sheep grazing in the distance and the fence dividing the paddocks all adding together<br />
to create a scene of New Zealand that I wanted to capture to show just how beautiful this country is.<br />
Photographers come here and make their way to the rocks to photograph them up close, but I wanted<br />
to shoot something different so used them as the backdrop for this photo instead of making them the<br />
main subject.<br />
