This is part of the landscape on the Castle Hill Station in Canterbury in the South Island. It is just prior to Arthur's Pass when approaching the pass from the regional city of Christchurch.
The landscape is a massive amount of bare limestone rock in a valley in the high country and a site for tourists on the way to the West Coast. More of my work is here You can see more images of the region in the work of John O'Malley, a regional photographer who lives in Christchurch. (I don't know if he is on Flickr).
Someone who is on Flickr is Kate Pedly a geologist. She was recently at Castle Hill and depicted the atmosphere of the basin.
Gary Sauer-Thompson, rocks, Castle Hill
On this occasion was more attracted to the rock forms than the atmospherics of the base.

These are monoliths. Why the stark blunt photography?
