[New Zealand | A Poetry of Light, Mountains, and Seas in the Southern Hemisphere]
New Zealand is a flowing painting, its mountains and lakes reflecting each other. The South Island's snow-capped peaks pierce the sky, while glaciers snake like silver ribbons through the fjords. The North Island's volcanoes and lakes intersect, creating picturesque green fields, and white mist from hot springs slowly rises in the morning light. Every sky here is a deep blue, as if carefully polished, and the clouds float gently like a quilt.
In the early morning, the calm waters of Milford Sound capture the peaks, forests, and waterfalls in their entirety. Occasionally, a seal peeks out, as if greeting. At dusk, the shores of Queenstown Lake are bathed in a shimmering orange and gold, the distant mountains soften into a soft outline, and the water shimmers, making it impossible not to stop and capture this moment in your heart.
In summer, the Waitomo Glowworm Caves shimmer with light, like countless tiny stars falling into an underground river. In winter, Mount Cook, with its snow-capped peaks and its reflections reflected in the lake, creates a fairyland. New Zealand's beauty lies not in a single scenic spot, but in its fusion of sky, water, and wildness, all blended into a cohesive atmosphere.
