Ancient Ōpārara
Ancient Ōpārara
Deep in the Ōpārara Valley, ancient limestone formations rise from tea-stained waters, draped in luminous moss that thrives in the filtered forest light. This quiet corner of Kahurangi National Park feels timeless — where stone, water, and rainforest have shaped each other over millennia.
The warm amber tones of the tannin-rich water contrast beautifully with the cool greens of the moss and canopy, creating a palette that's both earthy and serene. Soft, dappled light filters through the native bush, highlighting the textures and layers of this ancient landscape.
These grounding, natural tones would work beautifully in living rooms or bedrooms, where the lush green would add calm to your morning routine. The horizontal format suits feature walls, spaces above sofas or beds, and creates a strong focal point without overwhelming.
A perfect gift for trampers, nature lovers, or anyone who's explored the hidden corners of the West Coast. This photograph captures the quiet magic of the Ōpārara — a landscape that feels untouched by time.
This photograph from my West Coast Open Edition images comes in a 2:3 aspect with three different finishing options. Please choose from the following selection.
Acrylic Print
Perfect for any room where gallery quality is optimal, our Acrylic Prints are also ideal for bathrooms and wet areas.
Your photograph will be printed in our boutique print studio on Kodak Professional substrate using archival inks, and then mounted in-house on crystal clear acrylic for a back-lit appearance and unrivalled vibrancy.
Finally, it will be seamed with 4mm ACM (Aluminium Composite Material) for a modern frameless finish. A custom hanger is attached before the print is securely packaged and sent to you, ready to hang on your wall.
ACM Wall Art
Our ACM Wall Art prints are sleek and non-reflective. Your photograph will be printed in our boutique print studio on Kodak Professional Paper using archival inks and then mounted in-house on 4mm ACM.
