A 9 month trip in New Zealand took me to Slope Point, the most
southerly point of the South island in New Zealand. Facing the
Southern Ocean it receives the full brunt of the extreme weather
coming from the South. Despite the regular high winds, some
trees survive there, although they are well battered by the winds.
On the day I visited, there wasn't even a puff of wind, but just
looking at the landscape one could almost feel the power of the
winds here.
