Kaitoke

Kaitoke Regional Reserve
I took the photo on which this painting is based at the location where the “Rivendell” sequence was shot in the filming of the Lord of the Rings movie. (Located near the Kaitoke reservoir north of Upper Hutt.) It has long been a favourite place of mine, as I used to spend quite a bit of time here when I was in my teens, and it not only has good memories for me, but also an ambience that for me is unmatched anywhere else.
