Slope Point, New Zealand

Slope point is the most southerly spot on New Zealand's South Island. It is here that that they get cold, southwesterly winds from the antarctic ocean, these winds are interrupted which gives them lots of power before they hit the island. This can be seen through the trees that were planted there by sheep farmers, originally planted to give the flocks protection from the extreme weather, now bending over from the wind.

Due to the severe winds, these trees are now all permanently slanted, stretching to the side rather than upwards. Unsurprisingly, no one really lives here other than a few sheep and a few sheep farmers.
