Capture the Colour Contest 2013

The Capture the Colour photoblogging competition is back for 2013 (ends 9 Oct). For more info click here

As I've been on working holiday in New Zealand for the past year therefore all my photos were taken in this lovely country. It is a very scenic country with mountains, rivers, lakes, beaches, volcanoes and beautiful landscape which I will try to showcase in the pictures.

White

Mt Sunday / Canterbury / South Island

New Zealand is known as Aotearoa in Maori which is simply translated to "The land of the long white cloud". 

Yellow

Queestown Hill Walkway / Queenstown / Otago / South Island

In the background you can see the famous mountains called "The Remarkable". For me this picture captures all the other colors but the yellow in the foreground is rather dominant as it covers half of the picture.

Green

Rakaia Gorge / Canterbury / South island

This was taken along the 2 hours walkway to the Upper Gorge lookout. The view throughout the journey was simply stunning. 

Red

Red Crater Summit / Tongariro National Park / North Island

Red Crater is one of several active craters on top of Mount Tongariro in The Tongariro National Park. Tongariro crossing is without a doubt the most famous one day hiking trail in New Zealand.

Blue

Lake Pukaki / Canterbury / South Island

Lake Pukaki is the 7th largest lake in NZ. In the background is Aoraki/Mt Cook the highest peak in NZ at 3754m.

And for this year I have nominated the same friends for the contest. They are
