Travelling through Lindis Pass we came across this amazing field of Lupins alongside a river.  Despite breaking my ankle the day before, Ispent a few hours in here photographing this pristine place.

Hope I'm not boring you with the most amazing paddock of Wild Lupins in the Lindis Pass.  It's by Bridge 2360 if you're down that way.  We just climbed over the padlocked fence and played with a cameras in this field for a couple of hours. Beautiful willow trees, a beautiful river, and an seemingly unending field of Lupins. That's what I call Bliss. All along the side of the roads and rivers in the Mackenzie country these lupins grow, in white, yellow, pink, blues and purples.  The best time of the year to see them is mid December when they are at their best.

We were driving in the Lindis Pass and from the road could see this field of Lupins that stretched for miles. After parking the car and climbing over two fences, we spent two hours photographing in this ‘paddock’ by the river. It was simply amazing. I used a mixture of Landscape and Macro lenses and will try and upload a few of these in the next week or so.

The most amazing field of Wild Lupins at Lindis Pass. We saw this from the road, parked the car, climbed over two fences and spent 2 hours in this spot photographing this magical place amongst he flowers. The Lupins stretched literally for miles, all along the river on both sides of the bank. I nearly stayed at home this day as I broke my ankle the night before, but am so pleased I didn't let a bone break ruin this opportunity!

We came across a valley of Wild Lupins that stretched for kilometres in the Lindis Pass. We couldn't resist and climbed through padlocked gates to photograph here for several hours. This is just a taster, one image of about 500 I took but gives you an idea what it was like.  To emphasise how many Lupins were there, I've added a second photo of selective colouring of the Lupins only.  A magical day.

We were driving through the Lindis Pass as the sun was going down and came across beautiful evening light and shadows. This is one of my favourite images of the area with the textures of the tussock grass, being almost green in the shade, but golden and yellow in the sunlight.  Not a cloud to be seen.  Beautiful evening albeit a bit cold.
