    • A very dramatic dawn – one that had me rushing to fetch my camera before the colours faded!

        I wasn’t expecting it to be even as colourful as India.

        • This is my first visit to New Zealand so I’m not sure how typical my experience has been.

          The weather has varied from grey, cloudy and really pretty cold days – quite similar to England – to violet blue skies, intense light and amazing clarity of colour, which I normally associate with altitude.
