My cycle tour in New Zealand turned me into a perspicacious landscape lover. Cycle tours offer a unique appreciation of land also; different from those of a hiker. While the hiker humbly admires and reveres his/her landscape gracious to be a part of it, the cyclist treasures his/her movement through and across it, acknowlegeing the scenery as more of an accomplice and loyal peer, but no less wholly. It is this sentiment I try to convey through picture in the slide show.
