Nilesh Choithramani, Turquoise Dream (PLACES WILDERNESS 2025)

Captured in October 2024, beneath the shadow of Aoraki/Mount Cook, Tasman Lake glows in striking turquoise hues, reflecting the rugged alpine landscape. Icebergs, freshly calved from the Tasman Glacier, drift serenely across the water, their forms shaped by wind and sun. This glacial oasis, ever-changing yet timeless, offers a moment of beauty amid nature’s powerful forces.
