Photo Gallery by Hannah Capon

Try as they may, travellers exploring the southern hemisphere seldom find adequate adjectives to describe New Zealand’s magnificent scenery. Not all the impact comes from landscapes. More often than not, the sky alone’s breathtaking.

Inspired by fellow photographers in discussions on the Internet, New Zealand’s Hannah Capon accepted the challenge of shooting a photo a day for a year. Long fascinated by the sky in all its moods, she pointed her camera at the heavens.

Twenty-four-year-old Hannah pursues photographic themes significant to her or designated by her Internet mates. She studied psychology, philosophy, classics and religious studies at Canterbury University in Christchurch. Her day job in administration at the New Zealand Blood Service pleases her by saving lives.
