Jennifer Sheehan, Beautiful New Zealand (LANDSCAPE 2024)

My first trip to New Zealand, I spent 7 days last July in the South Island and it truly was as beautiful as everyone told me it would be. The mornings were cold, sometimes below zero which caused the shallow parts of the lakes to freeze, but that made for great reflections. I have never seen storm clouds as dark as they were in NZ. They were awesome looking, though not a good time to be stopped at the side of the road changing a flat tire.
