Although I have been taking photos for many years, the five years since retirement have seen my photography flourish. For me, taking photos is a spiritual practice; a way of truly seeing and engaging with the world. I live at the base of the Otago Peninsula, with its many beaches, tracks, hills, and varied wildlife. Birds constantly visit our garden, so it is landscapes and birds that are my primary photographic concern. THE PENINSULA The long narrow body of the Otago Harbour is enfolded on all sides by hills. Around its outer edges are a series of rocky beaches and several large tidal inlets. Dunedin nestles against the base of the harbour, with Port Chalmers nearby. Small settlements line the inner coastline. With seabirds, seals, forests, and much human activity, it is an endless source of photographic engagement. My favourite time for taking pictures is early morning when it is still enough for the hills and sky to be reflected in the water. All these pictures were taken soon after sunrise. I hope they suggest something of the beauty and variety of the place I call home.
