Travelling around the US, it was great being able to pick up an early copy of National Geographic’s “Greatest Landscapes” book – published this month, featuring my shot of the stunning lone willow tree that sits in Lake Wanaka, New Zealand – before I head back to London.

Released in the UK on 17th November, this 400 page book features some of the most dramatic and iconic photography from all around the world, and it’s a proud moment to see “Still” included in this collection.

The flow of this unique hardback collection of the world’s greatest landscapes shows the full spectrum of seasons, countries and photographic styles from all around the world and National Geographic have done an amazing job of creating a coffee-table book that really is to treasure.

Thinking back to when I captured the image, as well as when the quote was originally penned, it’s easy for my mind to fill with the idea of a quick return to New Zealand to once again see another season as the lake transitions from winter to spring on the south island.
