I have to give a shout-out to any fellow Dunedin dwellers, and the owner of VisitingNewZealand.com, Chris Paton, is part of that fellowship. Chris is a recent immigrant to the South Island of New Zealand from England and his blog is aiming to show off the various places he visits in his time there. A web developer, Chris is also a medical doctor and lecturer in Medical Informatics at Otago University. It looks like his site just got started, but the images are beautiful — and much like everything else in New Zealand, look unreal. He would probably agree with me in my assessment of New Zealand as a photographer’s dream come true. A two-year old could take magazine worthy shots. The landscape just makes it too easy.

Anyways, check out VisitingNewZealand — and be sure to hit the Sea Lions of Otago video. Those smelly monster were always a joy to behold on the beaches during an afternoon stroll.
