If there’s any image I’ve ever taken that depicts what makes the West Coast unique, it’s this one. Mountains, rivers, lakes, temperate native forest, alpine grasslands, small towns, farmland, beautifully dark night skies and a coastline dotted with fishing boats, all in one image. You can even see Greymouth’s notorious katabatic wind (aptly called “The Barber” by locals, as it cuts you to the bone) billowing down the Grey River to the far north. This little piece of paradise is where I was born and where I will happily live out the rest of my days.
