Taranaki sunset 🌅 A lovely pink/peace coloured sunset that I was blessed to watch from a cabin I had stayed in. I was up about 1000m at this point which was a cool feeling :) I loved this trip, it was so much fun! This was the sunset after I climbed Mt Taranaki 🌋 stay tuned for the view behind me :) I hope you’re all having a great Sunday, peace and love!:)

@sunsethunter

Taranaki sunset 🌅 part 2! Following on from my last post, this is what was behind me!:) I mentioned I was staying up at about 1000m before climbing Mt Taranaki, and I stayed in this hut for the night. It was so awesome! Just out in the wilderness, away from noise and at peace :) can’t wait to start planning some adventures after winter! However lots of fun to be had over winter too :) Peace and love! Have an awesome Sunday!

@sunsethunter

Good Morning Mt Taranaki 🌋 !:) ...and good morning noise fam! Here is a beautiful shot of the stunning Mt! Definitely one of my favourite spots here in New Zealand. Can’t wait to come back here soon, planning a few trips for this month which should be good fun! Enjoy everyone! Peace and love :)

@sunsethunter

Te Rewa Rewa Bridge This bridge is designed to look like a breaking wave and/or a whale skeleton. Either way, it’s awesome to see and a lovely sight! Plus it’s along the coastal walkway in New Plymouth which is an amazing walk :) it’s nice and flat but very long! Plenty of cool things to do in New Plymouth, I enjoy it there very much!:) Peace and love! :)

@sunsethunter

Mt Taranaki sunset 🌅 As much as I love being up on the volcano 🌋 I also love viewing it from afar! It’s a wonderful view. I remember seeing it for the first time when I was driving there and just stunned by how huge and awesome it was! The best part is how uniform it looks, and it’s the only mountain for miles! A pretty unique spot that’s for sure :) Peace and love!:)

@sunsethunter

Taranaki beaches :) camping ⛺️ spot The Taranaki region is surrounded with beaches, there’s some pretty good surfing spots but the rip tides are quite strong... here’s an amazing camp site. What a view too! Overlooking the sea and a nice grassy area to pitch up on and relax :) not an overly busy site either :) Peace and love!

@sunsethunter

Street sunset 🌇 Here’s a fiery sunset from the other week!:) there was a huge tube like cloud covering such a large section on the sky! It kind of reminded me of an underwater wave where you can see that tubular barrel. Either way, it sure did make for some awesome colours! Good morning from New Zealand! I hope everyone has an awesome day/night! Peace and love

@sunsethunter

Black water Bridge jump.... This photo is quite different to most of the ones I usually post, but this area is quite popular for risk takers! The rocks and waterfall you see is at very low flow due to the water being held back by a dam that is released periodically. When it’s released, the water flows very fast and fills up to the top of those rocks! The deep black water is that colour due to the rocks taking on a very dark shade when wet. It looks pretty dramatic, but many…

@sunsethunter

Huka falls! Taupō, New Zealand 🇳🇿 This is one of my favourites! Also one of the fastest flowing in NZ, so much volume is pouring over here it’s crazy. Can you believe that a few have kayaked over the edge? The water is flowing from lake Taupō and is an amazing clear blue colour. You can make out how blue it is in this photo, but it’s honestly a stunner! Can you spot that person? That will give you a scale for size! It’s amazing :) Peace and love to you all :)

@sunsethunter

Blue Springs (Putaruru), New Zealand 🇳🇿 One of my favourite spots! NZ’s source of drinking water, which takes over 100 years to filter from underground and up through the rocks into a large spring which then travels downstream. You can’t swim in the main spring as it is protected, but you can swim far downstream. The water is a fresh 9 degrees! So it’s definitely an energiser on a summer day! One of the most peaceful spots :) have a great day everyone, good morning from NZ!…

@sunsethunter

Mt Damper falls! NZ At 74m high, this is one of the tallest in the north island! I can only think of Wairere falls which is taller... anyway, the road to getting here sure was a trek! As amazing as this waterfall is, I don’t think I’ll be returning any time soon. But it sure was worth it... it was a sublime view! Loved it :) Hope everyone’s having a great day :) peace and love!

@sunsethunter

New Zealand’s east coast! I saw a shark🦈 I’m missing the summer and the beach days! I’m sure most people on here are missing the cooler days as almost all of you are in summer right now! Winter is actually quite mild here in New Zealand, and still lots of fun to be had :) I do love walking along the beach and swimming in the summer. Yes, I also saw a shark 🦈 right next to the coast last time I was here, right after I was swimming. It was huge! I signalled for a few swimmers…

@sunsethunter

Hidden rivers :) the bay of plenty, NZ 🇳🇿 There’s many lovely hikes and walks to do here, some of which you can go a little off track and try to find some secret spots! This was just down from a stream I found and it’s all pretty dense jungle, so I don’t go too far off track :) it was definitely a lovely scene!:) I’ll be posting a few ‘secret’ waterfalls soon :) Peace and love!:)

@sunsethunter

Hidden waterfall :) I think you can all see it! I almost missed this one. Walking through the bush and stepping over mini streams, sometimes I would forget to stop and look around! Here I did and see a waterfall merged into the forest :) It was probably just over 3m high and the water then channeled in a few different directions and some underground! This was a cool one as I could hear water flowing everywhere! Have a great Friday night/Saturday everyone!:) peace and love :)

@sunsethunter

Hidden waterfall #2!:) Here was another ‘hidden’ waterfall I found on my hike through the forest. I wasn’t straying too far off of the track, but was enjoying the sound of flowing water everywhere but not quite being able to see it! So yes, just a short walk through the bush would lead to gems like this! Enjoy your weekend everyone! I’ll be sharing a new guitar video soon :) peace and love!

@sunsethunter

My latest guitar video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faMYxUT3kC4 Music lovers of Noise!:) Here I put two of my LTD guitars head to head to see which one sounds better! I play 'Cowboys from hell' by Pantera - a metal classic! Feel free to check out this video and other videos on my channel! :) These are both considered 'budget' guitars, and I think they both sound pretty cool! Any other guitarists or musicians here on Noise? #Music

@sunsethunter

Mushroom 🍄 sunset 🌅 What a nice combination!:) this mushroom is an Amanita Muscaria (fly agaric) and they’re popping up everywhere right now! They’re such a cool mushroom to see as it’s the classic Alice in wonderland style haha! They are not edible unless properly prepared, but still I wouldn’t recommend it! I think the colours are a warning to stay away. They sure are beautiful though. Mushrooms are amazing!

@sunsethunter

Beautiful peace! Queenstown, NZ I’m missing queenstown right now, it’s such a beautiful place! It can get pretty touristy which if often a reason why some people don’t like it, but it has some of the best views! The whole South Island is amazing, as all of New Zealand is. Natural gems everywhere:) Here I’m watching the sunset and walking along the lake front. A beautiful view! More Queenstown pictures coming :) peace and love to you all!

@sunsethunter

A seat with a view! Queenstown, NZ That tree stump you can see at the bottom had been carved into a seat! It’s a little off the track so I don’t suppose everyone knows about it, but I used to come here after work and sit for a while :) just watch the lake and try to clear my mind. Beautiful views really help my mental clarity, it’s a form of meditation:) I had a few secret spots near here too! Good night everyone :) peace and love to you all!

@sunsethunter

Lake Wakatipu, blue strip! Even on a very cloudy day like this one, the clear blue waters are still very lively :) can you notice that blue/turquoise strip on the other side of the lake? That a slightly shallow spot (still deep!) and you can see the bright colour difference! Only really visible in the cloudy weather, as in the sun the whole lake is a bright blue! The water is crystal clear and is fed from the surrounding mountains :) I’ll be sharing a few Queenstown pictures…

@sunsethunter

Distant rain 🌧 the beauty of weather Continuing with Queenstown, NZ, this is from a ‘secret’ location of mine that is quite hard to get to! Anyway, can you see the pocket of rain off to the right? This lake is huge, and you can often see localised rain falling in the middle of the lake, sometimes when it is sunny elsewhere! It’s pretty cool :) I do have another picture like this but more pronounced, I shall look for it and hopefully post soon! Peace and love to you all :)

@sunsethunter

Distant rain 🌧 part 2!:) the beauty of weather! I said in my last post that I had a more pronounced photo of a localised rain cloud over lake Wakatipu - and here it is! The weather was pretty good everywhere else, but here you can see the heavy rain right in the middle of the lake! It was stunning to see this type of scenery very often :) I don’t live in Queenstown anymore but it was the best place I’ve lived... so far ;) Peace and love to you all! :)

@sunsethunter

Ice cream 🍦 with a view! (Click) Do you like ice cream? Ok, that’s a silly question... of course you do! What’s your favourite flavour? That’s a hard question for me as I like so many 😂 anyway, here is me celebrating at lake Wakatipu in Queenstown after a great day. This was actually taken on my birthday last year :) I went to queenstown for an adventure weekend! I did put together a birthday video if anyone is interested in watching it, here is the link…

@sunsethunter

Rainbows over the Remarkables 🌈 🏔 Yes, that mountain range is called the remarkables :) they’re stunning, and the lake is just below. I spotted this double rainbow and had to take a snap! Some of the previous photos I have uploaded have been during bad weather, and even though I prefer blue skies, I still think every scene is beautiful! Just like this one :) Peace and love!

@sunsethunter

Coffee ☕️ and cake 🎂 with a view! Continuing my Queenstown theme, here is another one back from my birthday adventure! Yes I had ice cream and cakes, of course! Here it right at the top of the gondola. I was taking a break from mountain biking and enjoying the view :) it was a great birthday that’s for sure! Loved it :) I did link the video in a previous post, but if anyone wants to check it out then here is the link :) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FLr7MJ_Z5ZE That’s also…

@sunsethunter

The gorgeous Gorge! Queenstown, NZ It’s hard to gain a scale sometimes from photos, but this is on expansive view! The mountain in the distance is coronet peak, which is a ski field in the winter :) also, this view is special to me as when I lived in Queenstown, it was right opposite that huge gorge, tucked away in a small cabin!:) so I would wake up to the view of this gorge every morning! Very grateful for those days, and today! Always having an attitude for gratitude :)…

@sunsethunter

A Remarkable view! Queenstown provides the goods again :) in my opinion it has some of the best views in New Zealand, the whole surrounding area is just amazing. It’s a beautiful place with lots to do:) many people prefer the surrounding places as they’re are a little less touristy, but this is a great place to visit if you want lots of fun activities and beautiful scenery! The mountain range in view is called the remarkables, the other side is a ski field in the summer :)…

@sunsethunter

Wonderful clouds, wonderful view! ⛅️ This is one of my favourite pictures I’ve taken in Queenstown:) the layers of clouds on the distant mountains had me in awe! I’ve only seen it like this once, and I’ve been to this spot so many times! The clouds only stayed like this for about 15 minutes or so, but the layers were so captivating! Did you know that Aotearoa means New Zealand in the native Maori language? Aotearoa translates to ‘land of the long white cloud’ Good night…

@sunsethunter

Clear blue view! Queenstown, NZ 🇳🇿 Good morning noise fam :) following on from my last post, here is the view later on in the day :) I could never get tired of looking out over this few, I definitely feel a connection with the land and the beauty! The water is so clear and fresh, I have been for a swim here a few times! It’s definitely fresh haha! I’m looking forward to planning my next trip down south :) Peace and love to you all!:)

@sunsethunter

So cute! Ducklings 🐥 Walking around the Queenstown gardens I was seeing many different duck families! The ones in that first picture were so small and cute, and were happy with me being really close. I saw about 4-5 different groups of duck families in this park, it was awesome!

@sunsethunter

The walk to blue springs :) A lovely walk along the river to the blue springs, where crystal clear fresh drinking water filters from underground up into a spring. It takes 100 years to filter through from deep down! It’s the purest water, and also one of the highest clarity levels. There’s another spring in the South Island that measures about 70m underwater clarity, and then blue lake in Nelson which measured 80m+ clarify, making it it clearest fresh water body in the work.…

@sunsethunter

Clear waters of the blue spring :) The waters are clear and the air is fresh :) it’s a very peaceful walk all the way along the water until you reach the main spring. It’s worth it :) I just love this place! Something about clear blue water is so attractive to me! :) Hope everyone is having a great day :) peace and love!:)

@sunsethunter

A beautiful scene :) Yes, another one from blue springs! I think I’m going to be posting a fair few from here over the next couple of days, as it’s one of the prettiest walks and areas here in the north island. It really is magical and makes you think, how does this beauty exist! I love clear blue waters very much! I’m shutting off for the night everyone, have a great Friday! Peace and love :)

@sunsethunter

The journey continues! Blue Springs :) It’s all about the journey, to keep going, staying focused and enjoy the process! :) I’m still going to be sharing some of my photos from ‘blue spring’ here in New Zealand, as it’s just so amazing. Whenever I go here I feel like I’m in a magical place. The first time I saw this I couldn’t believe my eyes! I’d been wanting to see waters like this my whole life, I didn’t know they existed. It’s truly wonderful :) our world is amazing!…

@sunsethunter

Enter Blue Springs! NZ 🇳🇿 This spot along the walk is probably where the water is at it’s very bluest, in my opinion! Where it’s in shade, there’s little reflections and it’s a bit deeper here, the colour really becomes prevalent! It’s amazing :) I hope you’re all enjoying these pictures from the blue springs here in Waikato, New Zealand:) it’s one of the most magical places! I have some more to share over my next 2-3 posts but this short theme of blue springs is coming to…

@sunsethunter

The river flows on :) At this stage I was walking further away from the spring and along the waihou river :) it’s still just as beautiful and still absolutely clear. There’s a few swimming spots further down too! It’s such a lovely walk, I can’t wait to do it again! :) Have a great day everyone! Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend :) Peace and love! :)

@sunsethunter

Auckland! 🇳🇿 A skyline of Auckland from earlier today, this is from the top of Mt Eden, an extinct volcano :) there is a great crater at the top, it’s a lovely walk up and a great view! Hope you’re all having a wonderful Sunday! Peace and love :)

@sunsethunter

Mt Eden crater | Auckland 🌋 Here is the view over Auckland from the Top of Mt Eden, an extinct volcano. This is the crater, and it is deep! This is where it blew many years ago. It’s massive and extremely steep. That sign actually says ‘no mountain biking’ haha! There’s also view points here overlooking many other calderas (craters) and islands! It was a great Sunday! Hope you all had a great one too! Peace and love

@sunsethunter

View over Auckland from Mt Eden! 🌋 You can see some smaller calderas down below which I thought were pretty cool! I was wondering when exactly this last erupted... the whole north island of NZ is technically an active volcano, some call it a ticking time-bomb! The tall building you can see off to the left is the Auckland sky tower. Happy Monday everyone! Enjoy your day :) peace and love!

@sunsethunter

Be like water, my friend 💧 Does anyone know who said that quote?🥋 Here are some more lovely shots of the waihou river, downstream from blue springs. The water is so clear it’s almost unbelievable! Definitely a favourite spot of mine :) Good night noise fam, peace and love to you all! :)

@sunsethunter

Beautiful New Zealand 🇳🇿 This photo here is definitely one I would use if I had to choose a few to explain the north island here in New Zealand. The rolling hills are seen throughout many parts of Waikato before the terrain gets a little more mountainous. Lots of fun activities here that’s for sure! Enjoy your day!:) peace and love

@sunsethunter

Clarity! The water here is so clear, this spot it’s particularly clear - In fact this spot has some of the clearest water on earth. But it makes me think how beautiful clarity is and I relate it to my mind. I don’t always feel like my mind is as clear as this water haha, but I sure want it to be! It’s difficult with modern busy life, but we can always find time to reflect and clear our minds :) visiting this place sure helps with that for me!:) Peace and love :)

@sunsethunter

At peace :) ☮️ This lovely small waterfall is down the waihou river here in New Zealand. Not only is this beautiful, it’s also fresh drinking water from a spring :) Definitely a peaceful location :) have a great day everyone! Good night :)

@sunsethunter

The end of the flow - don’t stop, go!:) Good morning noise fam. So New Zealand is back in another lockdown, like many parts of the world. We are all wanting this to be over! Anyway, here is a picture of the waihou river, and it’s as far as I can get to it before it flows under a bridge and through farmland. I wanted to keep following it and see what other spots it ends up in, but I haven’t found a place yet (all owned farmlands...) maybe one day I’ll find another secret…

@sunsethunter

View from the top of Wairere falls :) The Waikato! This is the north islands tallest waterfall at around 160m. It’s quite the sight! Plus, you can stand right next to the edge if you’re careful! I did get a little closer but it was great to just enjoy the view :) Have a great day everyone :) peace and love to you all!

@sunsethunter

NEW GUITAR! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMQmiLfNf1A Yes I have treated myself to a new guitar! Feel free to watch my YouTube video to see what guitar it is and also to hear me playing it :) Note - It isn't brand new, I bought it second hand but it is in great condition! :) Let me know what you think and feel free to share my YouTube channel with any music lovers, I'm trying to grow my channel :) Peace and love to you all! :)

@sunsethunter

Wairere falls! From below :) My last post was standing right at the top of these falls, overlooking across the land! Here is the view from below, before the hike up to the top! It’s a beautiful sight! Good morning from New Zealand 🇳🇿 peace and love to you all!

@sunsethunter

Enchanted forest 🌲 NZ 🇳🇿 (Click to see waterfall!) This was a beautiful walk up to the main waterfall, so many awesome cascading pools making their way down! I love how green everything is, and the mossy rocks with clear water :) of course I found a pool to take a dip in!:) I love this scene! I’m looking forward to everything coming up in the future, and keeping a positive mindset! I hope everyone is having a great day :) peace and love!

@sunsethunter

Enchanted waterfalls! Cascading falls :) The greenery here is so brilliant! The water was loud and fresh, and the air was cool :) a nice long hike up to the top was a rewarding one! Beautiful scenery of New Zealand’s north island. @IamAndy , I hope you like this one! It’s late here in New Zealand, so good night all! Peace and love :)

@sunsethunter

Standing on the edge! At the end of Wairere falls, about 160m up, and here is where it drops down! The view, walk, weather, scenery, was all awesome!:) Another great day is coming our way everyone! Enjoy! Peace and love :)

@sunsethunter

Wonderful Wairere!:) I do like this shot:) through the gap of the wonderful wairere falls! It’s super awesome. I think this shot gives a great perspective of how big this waterfall is! Keep positive everyone! I know it can be hard, but we all can do it :) we can do anything! Peace and love

@sunsethunter

My new guitar:) 🎸 Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro! Looks great doesn’t it :) unfortunately I have an arm injury (still) so I can’t play for too long each day. If anyone wants to hear me playing it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MMQmiLfNf1A here is a link! I will make more videos soon, I just need to get my tendonitis sorted :( it’s been really annoying for me as I love playing but just can’t give it 100% right now. I have 7 songs ready to record in the studio so if all goes to…

@sunsethunter

Light at the end of the tunnel! :) Good morning from New Zealand everyone! My next few days will be posting from an old gold mining sight, and a gorge! So I’ll be posting tunnels, bridges, rail ways, and of course some the the gorge! The rock formations here are lovely so there’s some cool posts coming up ;) I haven’t done a ‘weekly theme’ in a while, but let’s just say this ‘weekend theme’ is karangahake gorge! Peace and love!

@sunsethunter

The Gorge! Well, part of the gorge anyway haha, this actually spans all the way to the beach and there’s an awesome road to drive along the river to get there! Karangahake gorge was an old gold mining site :) there are many tunnels to explore here, and many bridges, caves, and old equipment! My weekend theme will be karangahake gorge :) peace and love to you all!

@sunsethunter

Walking along the gold tram track! This was used to transport rubble and gold back over 100 years ago. Some miners do still come here but the gold rush is thought to be over. I was wondering when I was here, just how much gold is left? Haha, I was hoping I would find a piece, of course! I think anyone would love to find some gold :) Peace and love!

@sunsethunter

Karangahake Rocks 🤘Gold mines! During the hike through the old gold mines, you would come out of tunnels and be walking along carved sections which was so cool! Here is a huge rocky section that the algae had grown over due to the damp environment made this one look awesome! Actually, it does look kinda of golden... imagine if this was a huge price of gold haha! Do you think this huge rock face looks like gold? Good night everyone, have a great day, peace and love :)

@sunsethunter

Stick insect! At the gorge :) Have you ever seen a stick insect before? These are seen quite often here in the north island of New Zealand. It was interesting to see, and hard to spot! There’s other bugs I’ve taken some photos of before that have a similar appearance. It’s a great defensive mechanism for these insects as they’re passed off as a twig :) Happy Sunday to you all :) peace and love!

@sunsethunter

Bridge across the gorge :) Still on my weekend theme of Karangahake gorge, here is an old bridge and you can also clearly see the undercut across the other side. It was interesting to walk down, and quite scary as you had the whole mountain above you haha! But it sure is a cool place to explore and see how the old gold mining operations used to work :) Peace and love!

@sunsethunter

I’m going in! Here’s another bridge from my time exploring karangahake gorge and the gold mines. This was awesome as it led right into the mines and we needed head lights to see. There were so many different tunnels that went so deep into the mountain, it was fascinating and kind of spooky! It was a fun day :) I hope you are all enjoying your Sunday :) peace and love!

@sunsethunter

The end!:) To finish my karangahake gorge weekend theme, I will finish with the longest tunnel there which goes all the way through the mountain. It’s only for walking and bikes, and it is 1km long! Can you see that tiny white dot right down the other side? That’s the entrance!:) Good night everyone, peace and love!:)

@sunsethunter

The view from my old ‘office’ - Guangzhou Actually, the view from my old classroom I used to teach from in Guangzhou. It’s been almost 2.5 years since I left my teaching job in China and moved back to New Zealand. Time is a difficult concept to fully understand for me haha! Sometimes it feels like it’s accelerating! Anyway, I enjoyed my time here. You can see the start of the town down below. I lived in a rural area of Guangzhou, about 40mins from the city Centre. It still…

@sunsethunter

The final sunset 🌇 Here are two photos taken about 15-20minutes apart. This was the last sunset for me in China! The sunsets in China often have a deep orange glow like you can see in the second picture. I remember the very first sunset I saw, half the sky was a glowing pastel orange! It was cool... actually, it was hot! Very hot! Anyway, here’s to me reminiscing about the past, but looking back with a smile and appreciating the journey :) times sure does move on, so it’s…

@sunsethunter

A view over the campus :) Another shot with a bit more light this time. This was the campus I worked on, and yes I’m pretty high up outside of a classroom. I always took the stairs 😜 haha! It’s nice to look back and smile on good times :) the lockdown here in New Zealand is still going on... I hope it will end soon as it’s a full on right now. Is anyone else still in lockdown or are you free? Peace and love!:)

@sunsethunter

Sunset 🌅 in Italy 🇮🇹 Is there something different about this photo? You see all of those dots in the sky? They are many birds!:) in the evening at certain times of the year during sunset they all flock to their night location! I’m not exactly sure why they do it, but it’s pretty fascinating to see! It really was quite the scene! Good night everyone, peace and love!

@sunsethunter

Italian sunset 🌅 Birds, part 2! So many! This is called a murmuration, when thousands of starlings fly together in unison like this. The trees were absolutely full of birds and they would fly as if they’re all connected, like a sheet floating through the wind! There must have been over 10,000 birds on this drive up the coast to Bari. From what I hear, this is still a phenomenon and scientists still do not fully understand why birds do this. It’s super cool to see though!…

@sunsethunter

My final sunset in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 I posted a ‘final sunset’ from my time in China, and my previous posts are the final ones I saw in Italy. It made me think about this one, from about 2.5 years ago when I last left England! This is in Wiltshire, which often provided some of the pinkest skies I have ever seen. It was beautiful :) I’ll be back to visit one day soon, I hope! Peace and love!

@sunsethunter

Tonight’s beautiful sunset 🌅 I’ve been posting some of my ‘final’ sunsets in places today, but here is todays! Just an hour ago I walked to the lake and wow this was a good one! Really enjoyed watching it today and taking some nice deep breaths outside :) Time to play some guitar now and relax for the evening, woah that was an awesome sunset :) peace and love!

@sunsethunter

My new guitar video!:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmLjC6yhtR4 Guns N Roses - Patience! Some of you might know this song? If not, and you want a nice chilled out rock song to listen to then it's a good one! I hope you like my guitar solo cover here :) this is my first time doing an acoustic guitar solo, and it sure was fun! Enjoy :) Peace and love! #Music

@sunsethunter

Rise and shine!:) 🌅 Good morning noise fam! Thanks to you all who watched my guitar video that I posted last night, I appreciate that! I’ve been trying to grow my channel for about 18 months now, posting regular guitar vids! It’s all good fun and that’s what counts :) Hope you all have a great day! Peace and love :)

@sunsethunter

Mt Pirongia, sunset 🌅 I love how the sun is lighting up the top half here! So cool :) This is my ‘local’ mountain haha! This isn’t too far where I live and it reaches up to 1000m in height. I’m still yet to summit this one, I must do this soon! It’s quite a long hike, about 9 hours one way! I believe that is due to the track being so long, not necessarily the steepest track but certainly long. I think I could do it in about 6 if I push! I better start training :) Peace and…

@sunsethunter

Another sunset at the lake :) 🌅 Peace and love to you all! I hope everyone’s been having a great day, keep the positivity high! :)

@sunsethunter

Going.... and gone! 🌅 Here’s a few more from last night :) this is up in my usual spot which gives a lovely view. I like how some of the clouds nearby just had the bottom edges turning pink as they were reaching down a little bit. It’s going to be a great day today everyone, enjoy!:) peace and love!:)

@sunsethunter

Reminiscing back to sunny beach days! East coast, New Zealand I’m sure these lockdowns will be over for all of us soon. I hope so anyway! There are still some positives - we can work on things at home and also plan! I definitely have lots of plans for when it’s over haha, how about you? However, I won’t be having too many beach days for the next few months as it’s still winter... but never go! I’d go swimming any time of year to be honest ha! Peace and love!

@sunsethunter

A view over the east coast of New Zealand 🇳🇿 Good night noise fam :) just wanted to share another coastal shot with you all before I go to bed. It’s been a busy week, lots of working online. But I’m still getting outside for exercise as much as possible, and there will be more guitar videos coming soon! Working on some good ones :) plus sunsets! 🌅 Have a great day! Peace and love :)

@sunsethunter

New Zealand’s east coast! Positive mindset :) Good morning from New Zealand everyone. Just wanting to say to everyone to keep a positive mindset today, it’s going to be a great day! If things get tough, take a deep breath and smile, it will be ok! It’s hard, I know, but we can do it!:) I’m not at the beach right now, about to start a day of work, but hopefully this lovely photo of mine can spread some peace around - just like all of your photos do for me :) Peace and love to…

@sunsethunter

A secret paradise:) NZ This was a truly wonderful experience, one I’ll never forget. There’s a ‘secret’ waterfall here in NZ, and I’ve found it! Well... it’s not exactly secret but there is not really a path to get there and it’s also not advised to visit as it’s pretty dangerous... But one of the most beautiful places I’ve been to! Can you spot the 4 people stood under the falls? That shows you how big it is :) Peace and love!

@sunsethunter

Getting closer to paradise :) NZ The track down to this waterfall is very dangerous, I wouldn’t recommend this one unless you’re very confident. But people are advised to not come here as it is hard to get to and if anyone needs help, it’s very hard/impossible to access! That being said, the reward (if you’re careful!) really is wonderful! These waters are emerald! Good night to you all :) peace and love!

Paradise! I made it :) (click - it’s worth it!) Woah this was a beautiful spot! Just a paradise in the middle of no where, with very limited access. Yes, the hike is a dangerous one and if anyone decides to do this you must be very careful and do not go alone, but, it is worth it. The reward was spectacular. Good morning everyone! Peace and love to you all :)

Mt Maunganui :) East Coast, NZ I love this place! Such a cool vibe here, lots of cool shops and places to eat, but best of all some awesome beaches and some nice surfing! On this day, the waves are very calm, but you can see some surfers still! I’ve seen the waves huge here before! Like wayyyy too big to consider going in, for me anyway haha :) Peace and love to you all :)

NZ’s rugged west coast :) Looking up to Mr Karioi, Raglan! This is a great view and a totally quiet space with very little infrastructure. Just coastline and land for as far as you can see in every direction. Hope you are all enjoying the weekend :) peace and love :)

Taranaki falls! :) NZ This was taken last year when the mountain was closed due to the high wind, but thankfully there are many wonderful hikes to do just like this one :) I was amazing! Love it :) Have a great Saturday everyone! Peace and love to you all :)

Off-road 4x4 experience! Rotorua, NZ This was fun! Flying through the ancient forest in a custom built 4x4 sure was a cool experience! There’s many fun experiences to do here in New Zealand, it’s a great place for adrenaline junkies! Peace and love to you all :)

My new guitar solo :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzMIYdqh758 Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe! I tried something different here, and you will see at the half way point in the video something happens :) I hope you enjoy this one! It is always a bit daunting covering a guitar legends song as no one can play it quite like they did, but it's always fun to try :) RIP Jimi!

Blooming 🌸 I guess spring is on its way! Crazy to think, past few months have flown by. This cherry blossom 🌸 Is right out on the street outside my apartment, it looks lovely does it :) the petals go everywhere but I think that looks quite nice too. Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday!:) peace and love

Spring is on its way | New Zealand I believe this is a plum tree. Well, it used to produce lots of plums but didn’t last year at all... does anyone know their fruit trees? Do plum trees have these white flowers all over them or am I way off? Haha, yes I know I could google it but thought I’d ask :) This tree is right outside the car park of my apartment, and plums used to be all over the ground. However this was huge and lots has been cut back... Good night from New Zealand…

Good morning from New Zealand, noise fam!:) Time for another great week:) it’s going to be awesome. I hope everyone has had an awesome weekend! Here is a lovely sunrise from here in the Waikato. This week I have some cool posts to share, a few from here and then some from Europe:) after that some amazing sunsets from California that I’ve been waiting to share, probably some of my best ones ever!:) Peace and love!

@sunsethunter

Some morning sun rays ☀️ It looks huge! I love how the rays were spreading out overhead, welcoming everyone to a new day :) it’s always good to try to improve ourself each day, little by little :) I aim for a little more peace within each day (however sometimes it’s hard with work etc haha!) and try to get better at guitar and let me creative side flow! Enjoy everyone! Peace and love :)

Huge trees during sunset 🌅 NZ Is it an Ent? Haha, it might be! Lord of the rings reference there :) you can see my bike at the base, this is a big one! I do like the strong long shadows cast by the massive trees :) I hope everyone is enjoying their Monday! Peace and love to you all :)

Austria 🇦🇹 This was from my last trip to Austria, and I loved it. What a beautiful country! Now I can reflect back on it even more so :) this mountain range looks fairly similar to the remarkables here in New Zealand :) it was a great trip! I do miss Europe, one day I will return. Good morning from New Zealand, peace and love!

The inside of a beautiful church in Austria 🇦🇹 The detail here was amazing! Also, it was so unexpected, as the outside looked fairly normally and almost modern. The buildings fascinated me here. The artwork inside this church was spectacular, like many in Europe!:) Peace and love!

@sunsethunter

The outside of the church ⛪️ Austria 🇦🇹 Following on from my previous post, which showed the stunning interior of this church. I mentioned that it was quite the surprise as from the outside you wouldn’t expect it. The interesting this here is all of the outer facade is painted, they’re not real windows, it’s all painted!:) a very interesting church, with such an incredible interior! Peace and love to you all :)

Last few from Austria 🇦🇹 sunsets! 🌅 Here is the transition from day to night! Taken from my hotel room balcony. It was a beautiful location and about 15minutes bus ride from the ski slopes, which made it perfect for me! I loved being able to see the mountains from my room, and even better getting to catch the sunset! You can see the progression in these photos :) Peace and love to you all!:)
