A four week tour of New Zealand (North and South Island) in September 2010. It's still fresh at the time and spring has just started, like March in Switzerland. Some flowers and trees are already in bloom, most are just waking up from hibernation. We haven't had much luck with the weather so far. Clouds in the sky are very interesting for landscape photography, but unfortunately it rains most of the time. For more see Sandra's travel diary.

It's sick how whole slopes are completely cut down here, so that the soil is washed out by the rain because it's no longer held together by the roots. The road is buried in numerous places. You could at least leave every second tree standing when cutting down, but that's probably too complicated. It is partly reforested with small trees, but the intervention in the ecosystem is enormous and the same tree species is always planted. You will probably only notice and change it when everything is broken. "Two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, but I'm not quite sure about the universe yet."
