Turangi Landscape

Welcome to Turangi. We first lived here in the mid 1960’s. We have since travelled the world and witnessed beauty in it rawest form ….

… but “home” still takes my breath away.

I have all these prints in Hi Res for Large Canvas etc. If anyone is interested, message me and we’ll devise a plan that everyone is happy with.

The Chateau at the foot of Mt Ruapehu.

Piwakawaka (Fantail)

Tui – We are fortunate to have all these little beauties playing in our front yard. The birdsong is very relaxing.

Early Winter, Just missed the Autumn Colors

Waihi Village. I recently visited my Tupuna for the first time. Was a bit of a buzz. My son and grandson enjoyed the trip.
