New Zealand, or Aotearoa as it is known in the indigenous Maori language, (meaning: "Land of the Long White Cloud") is a country known for its natural beauty. Photographer Antony Harrison spent a year there, and he reckons it's the best place in the world for scenery, hands down. It's also his favorite country in the world to visit. He's especially fond of the country's South Island. "The sights and wonders of the South island have to be seen to be believed," Harrison said on BoredPanda. "Hidden beaches, grand mountain vistas, spectacular lakes and rustic buildings all add to the charm of this paradise." Take a look at Harrison's spectacular images, below…
