Continue ShoppingIn Pictures: Autumn In Arrowtown, Life During Lockdown
From 11.59pm on March 29th 2020 when New Zealand went into Lockdown alert level 4. On Day one the streets of Arrowtown were quiet as the sun rose, the usual tourist hustle and bustle was nowhere to be seen. It was only majority of the locals were the ones witnessing a ghost town like never before. Or probably to some residents, a feeling of how it was 'back in the day'

Drawing out of the Summer into the well known and favorite season change we call "Autumn in Arrowtown" its an unforgettable sighting and feeling every year as a resident. You can never take enough pictures. It was personally magical capturing the town without cars, traffic and many people, the whole town was practically all yours.
It's pretty lined streets in a kaleidoscope of reds, browns, yellows, coppers and of course, golds.
