This is Gullfoss, a really cool waterfall in the canyon of Hvítá river in Iceland. When you first walk towards it, the actual crevice is hidden from view so it looks like the river simply disappears into the ground. It's only as you get up close to it that you can see the full effect.

Huka Falls, New Zealand (2007). One of the fastest-flowing waterfalls in the world and also one of the most beautiful

It may not look like much at first glance (unfortunately my photo really doesn't do it justice) but Cape Reinga, in northwest New Zealand, is a great example of nature at its most captivating for me.
Cape Reinga is the point where the Pacific Ocean (coming from the East) meets the Tasman Sea (coming from the West). This photo is facing North, the darker Pacific waters are on the right, the lighter Tasman waters are on the left and the white, unsettled water stretching out to sea is the point at which the 2 seas collide.

although the sky was extremely dark, the sun (behind me) was still brightly shining off the buildings, giving the pic a bit of a surreal effect, if you can see it.
(you can see shadows from the "awnings" at the top of the building but yet the sky all the way to the horizon down the road was dark as night)
Cool shot, the darkness ahead gives it a creepy effect. "Out of the blue, and into the black"

Milford Sound, New Zealand. I know, another waterfall! This was taken from the back of our boat as we were reversing towards the waterfall. I like the way it looks as though the waterfall is cracking the water below it

The Franz Josef glacier, New Zealand. A glacier in the middle of a rainforest

Tongariro, New Zealand.
A few seconds after taking this I heard a noise behind me and turned to see my wife sliding towards me! She'd lost her footing, slid into me and we ended up in a heap right at the edge! I wish I had a shot of that

The catfish would actually push the ducks and swans - I never saw such a crazy thing.
