Waiau Weekend

Seven of us from one of the photography groups I belong to (PPNZ) spent last weekend up at Waiau, North Canterbury. What a hidden gem of a place. Highly recommended for a relaxing weekend. Below are a small sample of images from the weekend. We were given permission to photograph at Highfield Station, let loose in a paddock full of rusting trucks, and gifted with a beautiful Sunday dawn complete with valley fog. The journey home took us through the Leader Valley to Cheviot. Met this rather curvaceous lass at the Twin Rivers Cafe at Cheviot. A cafe well worth a visit for coffee and lunch.


















Rural church at Hope Field in the Leader Valley.


















A foggy start to the day on the Waiau River.

















First rays of sun on the Waiau River over a sleepy Waiau village.

















First light over Waiau from road out to Leader Valley.

















Old Morris truck peeking out from the undergrowth.

















Old mother time takes its toll.


















The old woolshed at Highfield Station.
