Winter Photo Tour in New Zealand
Sunset over Main Divide with Centennial Hut perched on ridge in centre atop of Franz Josef Glacier, Westland National Park, West Coast, Westland Tai Poutini National Park, World Heritage Area, New Zealand
Throughout the year, we have several itineraries of our photo workshops and tours but we were thinking about adding one more special winter version to our selection.
This new itinerary is almost identical with our 15 day South Island tour but we added a new, super location to it – one night will be spent in the high altitude mountaineering hut in The Southern Alps of the South Island in New Zealand.
The hut sits atop of the Franz Josef or Fox Glaciers, (depending on weather conditions we chose the best option), and we will have our private, professional mountaineering guide to guide us in this spectacular environment.
This combination will enable us to fully concentrate on photography, capturing images from areas usually accessible only to the skilled mountaineers. The scenery is going to be utterly breathtaking with 360 views and vistas reaching far into the Tasman Sea on horizon. We’ll be photographing spectacular West Coast sunset over the Tasman Sea from around 2800m above sea level, right under the Main Alpine Divide, as well as the sun rising from behind the following morning.
This adventure is scheduled for the 4 August until 18 August 2016 and I can’t wait to taking you into some of the most spectacular location on our planet.

Fina Art Photography Gallery in New Zealand
Dear friends and supporters of NZICESCAPES IMAGES.
Today, we have some significant, milestone news to announce – finally and in short;
WE HAVE OPENED OUR FIRST EVER “BRICK AND MORTAR” PHOTOGRAPHIC GALLERY.
Petr Hlavacek Gallery on the West Coast of the Southern Alps in New Zealand
This is so called “soft opening” as we have a lot of landscaping work to do before we’d like to make the official public opening sometime toward the end of this year.
And because the prints are up on the walls, the road signage is erected, coffee machine and we are ready, we think why not to open the doors to visitors for viewing now.
Our gallery is located in quiet, secluded, private setting among native trees, right at the foothills of the Southern Alps, 2km north of a small village of Whataroa on the West Coast of the South Island in New Zealand – only 20 min drive from Franz Josef Glacier.
There is 20 fine art collectable New Zealand landscapes photographs, framed and mounted under the museum, non-reflective glass on display in the gallery. All photographs are in Limited Editions and are for sale.
Simultaneously, we have updated, gave it a facelift and last week launched our website with brand new pages purely for – the gallery and prints
This is a very significant step for us, as we have realized our long term goal we’ve been dreaming about since many years ago.
It is hard to put on paper how excited, trilled and happy with this project we are and how delighted my partner Kristina and myself will be when we could welcome you in our gallery.
Thank you!
