ASTONISHMENT

This photograph was taken in November 2016 during a trip to the village of Hobbiton on the North Island of New Zealand. My mum and I were traveling around the globe, and this magical place was one of our stops. I didn’t know what to expect going in, but it completely exceeded anything I could have imagined.

While I took over a thousand photographs during our visit, this one best captures my feelings of amazement and awe at just how breathtakingly beautiful this place truly was.
