  2. Whats better than 5 days in the mountains with a case of red wine & nothing to do but explore? Not much really. Some shots from a weekend at Castle Hill Station. 

    We buy all of Castle Hill’s annual clip & knit the supersoft merino into our trademark designs.

    Located at the start of the Southern Alps about 1.5hrs out of Christchurch, its a landscape of soaring mountains, endless fields & eery boulder “forests” that seem as if a group of giants were playing marbles & just walked away. 

    Big thanks to Chrissy & John for their always welcoming hospitality & great conversation over dinner & wine.  

    All images were shot on 35mm film on an old OM-1 camera from 1983. Long Live Film!
