The Moment ∞

To be honest, I was not happy. I was giving up a summer to work through the winter in New Zealand. It was cold, gray, and not at all what I expected after spending time in neighboring Australia. But I loved the internship and the people, so I stuck it out.

I finally snapped out of the culture shock the day I took this photo outside Queenstown. That was when I let go of my expectations and learned to appreciate the slower pace and natural beauty for what they were.
