I suspect this view will appear in quite a few images, but when that is the view from your deck then it is difficult not to point a camera at it

Film photography has grabbed me again and now I am lucky enough to own the Olympus, a mere 30 years old, and have been very fortunate to have been lent the Pentax. No I've not been messing around with perspective that camera really is a beast!

Cool clouds in the Teviot Valley as the day was drawing to a close

I love triangles and lots of them silhouetted at Roxburgh Dam

Turned 50 this year so we enjoyed a lovely afternoon at Cargo Brewery, Queenstown....not a bad spot at all

I love this little pull off near Lyebow Lake on the way to Alexandra. I'll gradually explore this area as the seasons change during 2019

Most photographers get annoyed with pylon lines destroying the view. Personally I quite like the way the seemingly march across the landscape

I love heading up this road towards Lake Onslow, the views are spectacular and go on for ever

That vista is the reason I love Central Otago, so, so peaceful

Another experiment on a different way to explore the schist rock formations that cover the local landscape

A trip to a craft brewery led to an opportunity to take a couple of unusual images in the brewing area

This particular walk on a very warm day saw us tramping through lots of long grass and carpets of thistles. This sign in disrepair summed up the state of the track perfectly ;-)
