The World Through Our Lens
Photography from National Parks we have travel to around the world.

When Bob and I set off from Cape Point at Cape of Good Hope in search of the distant stretch of glistening white sand seen from the lookout, we were in for a big surprise and a treat! Read more
Receiving word that access to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing was once again forbidden owing to risky conditions, Bob and I had our last day in Mt. Tongariro National Park, New Zealand, wide open.
