日记片段: 新西兰 --- 一个神话的世界
摄影/文字: 随意风 (JaneW)
A piece of my New Zealand dairy
I absolutely loved Queenstown. The town nestled in an alpine valley at the edge of superb Lake Wakatipu, surrounded by the majestic snow-capped Remarkable that went on over the horizon with large mint coloured lakes at the ba<x>se, the colours were staggering and contrasting, amazing! Yet another side of heaven!
The Remarkable are the mountains I have so many picture of (called the Remarkable because the guy that found them thought it remarkable that the peaks run directly north-south). This is where I went for jet boating, luge, and one of my colleague, James, even did the scary bungy jumping (jump from 143m-high cliff) who really surprised us all.
Despite the Milford Sound coach-cruise-coach tour I had with Sally which was absolutely spectacular, the Deer Park Heights turned out to be my best moment ever I experienced during this trip.
Saturday afternoon was a free afternoon for the conference, some went for rafting and jet boating again while the others were wondering around the town and shopping, I decided to have a scenic tour in Deer Park Height on my own. I booked myself in with the Deer Park Scenic Tours. Drive about 20 minutes, head out of town toward Frankton, you find Deer Park Heights, a nearly 2000 acre working farm which raises red deer. There were many animals in addition to the deer in the park, I encountered them as we drove through, they include Bison, Llama, Goats, Sheep, Himalayan Thar, Miniature Horses, Donkeys, Scottish Highland Cattle, Yak etc, etc. Most of them were all very tame. I had fed the deer for a long time, so fun. Sitting on the green grassed hill, facing such beautiful scenery, watching the sun rise and sun set, surrounded by all kinds of lovely little creatures, doing a bit of painting, photographing, or even writing a memoir¬…… what an ideal life! I couldn’t think of any better than that.
To experience Tolkien’s Middle Earth was actually my main reason for this tour. Deer Park Heights is a Lord of the Rings location hunter’s paradise. A significant number of scenes were filmed here, Rohan refugees journey from Edoras to Helms Deep and their battle with the Wargs and Orcs (“The Two Towers”); Gandolf riding to Minus Tirith (“The Fellowship of the Ring” and “The Return of the King”); Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli see the corsair ships sailing up the Anduin (“The Return of the King”) and many more…
The view from Deer Park Heights was phenomenal: 360 degrees all around, taking in Queenstown, Frankton and The Remarkable mountain range. That was where I took the shots and later formed the 2 of my Panorama photos.
I recalled sitting in Queenstown against the mountain range aptly titled the Remarkable and feeling I was actually living in the books. It was like Tolkien had walked across New Zealand. All I need to do now is watch the movies again, and see if I can spot the areas, bearing in mind that a lot of computer trickery will have disguised some of the features.
Walked out of the Middle Earth and back to the real world, all I would like to say to this trip is --- Simply Amazing!
