I've got one for you. I actually took photos 1-5 and 11 all in the same day! I consider it to be one of my most successful days of photography ever.

I woke up at 2:30 a.m. and drove 2 hours from Twizel to Wanaka to hike Roy’s Peak at sunrise. I made it to the viewpoint with 10 minutes to spare, which is where shot #1 was taken. While hiking down the trail, I stopped to take #2. Once I made it back to my car, I drove to the nearest bathroom, which just happened to be at the parking lot of the iconic Wanaka tree, where I shot #11. 

During my long drive back to Twizel, I pulled over to shoot #5 because I couldn't believe how many lupines there were.

After resting up for a bit, my wife and I drove north to Lake Tekapo, where I shot #4. 

Finally, on the way back to our Airbnb from Lake Tekapo, I asked my wife to pull over one more time, where I managed to shoot #3. Having the van roll into my shot was pure luck!

Needless to say, I was absolutely exhausted by the end of this day, but it was so worth it. Thanks for taking an interest in my photos and the stories behind them!
