A lonely bench, somewhere in the forest on Mt. Victoria. The sign in the middle reads 'not all those who wander are lost'. The writer (and the poem) brought me across the world. #whereveriwander #tolkien

In my quest to visit as many film locations of #thelordoftherings I couldn't skip Rivendell. The kaitoke regional park is a real life Rivendell with rivers, forest, pools and beautiful walks. It was also the filming location of Fords of Isen, where the rohan forces where ambushed in the movie.
You can see some information signs at the filming location, but only a replica of the gate remains. #whereveriwander #thereandbackagain #newzealand #roadtrip #travel #photography

Funny to see a group of Lemurs at the #Melbourne zoo. This one sure did see something interesting in the sky... According to the zoo, they spend their days sunbathing, relaxing in yoga-like positions, and feasting on leaves, fruit, and the occasional bug. #whereveriwander #thereandbackagain #travel #photography #animals #animalphotography #lemur #zoophotography

In Oamaru, a town on the South Island of New Zealand, I observed the local blue penguin colony waddle ashore at dusk each day. It’s interesting to see the proces; they come together in large groups in the sea and make their way to the beach. The penguins are only about 30CM tall and are quite common in some parts of New Zealand and Australia.
