Photo Journey Through Middle Earth
With all the hype over the release of the movie The Hobbit, we are reminded of our journey through New Zealand two years ago. What better way to relive a memory than through a photo journey from our time there. New Zealand really does conjure up images of Middle Earth. While we travelled through the country, we couldn’t believe just how much New Zealand epitomizes Middle Earth. It is a land filled with breathtaking scenery, striking mountains, pristine beaches, lush forests and rolling hills. The landscape is so diverse in such a small space. One minute you can be walking on a glacier and the next you can be hiking beside a waterfall.
While looking through our photo library, we noticed that there are so many images of New Zealand that we never shared with our readers. Yes, we told you of our adventures but after 6-weeks exploring the country, we came away with amazing captures of the landscape and scenery. So Enjoy this Photo Journey of New Zealand and explore the land also known as Middle Earth.

New Zealand offers some stunning views, too bad it not an accessible destination.
It’s quite a distance from Europe or the United States in particular.

Very true. New Zealand is quite a long flight from the US, but it is totally worth going to. If you give yourself 4-6 weeks there, it can make the trip worth it. Maybe save up some vacation days tack them on to time before and after the Christmas holidays and a good 4 or 5 week tours is certainly not out of the question. I hope you make it there one day. It’s beautiful
Awesome photos, every time I see pics of this place it makes me want to jump on a plane and go…but as the previous poster noted, it’s a loooooooong way there and pretty well isolated from everywhere but Australia. Maybe some day…

Let Me tell you honestly, I tried a lot to save these pics on my Hard drive for my Future Desktop wallpapers , but it didnt work out though
! Thanks for sharing such beautiful pics about your New Zealand journey!
“Yes you are right dear, New Zealand is full of diversity.This landscape is amazing and one can really feel that he is standing middle of the earth.
I like the way you represents New Zealand pictures in one slideshow. These pics are very beautiful and no one can stop himself without exploring all photographs.”
Thanks Peter! We thought we’d try something new, we’ve never really put up a slide show on the site before. We thought it would be fitting to take people on a journey through Middle Earth.
I can’t even find the words to describe these photos, I love Lord of the Rings and have long been my dream to see New Zealand so I kind of healthily envy anyone who has… thank you for sharing this wonderful country! Hope I see it for myself sometime.
I am so glad that you liked them. We love LOTRs too. I am sure that you will get there one day soon. We didn’t think that we’d ever have the opportunity to see it either and then, it happened.
Wow this that’s a very nice photos. I hope one day I could also be able to have such wondrous pictures. Thanks for the photos.
New Zealand is the top most country to visit on my Bucket List. Its a dream to be there some day.

Amazing photos there!
