Holy cammolli! Can you up a higher res version to photobucket or summat? ta :)

Hummm I did shoot this in full RAW format 10.2mp, but this forum is not really the place for large images. If you really want a large formatted one that can be printed nicely or for use on a PC desktop, well I am actually a professional (on my side job ;)) photographer and I plan on selling this image. I suppose no one will lynch me like a witchhunt for posting a link to my Website...right? :uhoh Well here you go:

www.pnwphotography.com (http://pnwphotography.com)

There's a "New Images" link on the top that will show this photo probably by the end of this weekend. :-)

cheers,

John

Great pics!

The ones of 'stonehenge' set me thinking - don't they have dry stone walls in NZ? So used to seeing them spliting up the fields across the Uk - but can't recall seeing any here - anyone spotted some?

[SNK05]

Wow Beachcombers....those pix are incredible!

I love this thread.....can't wait to get there to see it for ourselves!

I took a trip on the ferry out to Sommes Island on Sunday, which for those unaware is a reasonable sized island in middle of Wellington Harbour. It has a interesting past as a Maori settlement, then Quarantine Station and then a WW2 Internment camp. Now its just a nice walk as its a nature reserve.

PS: Still officially "Winter" in these shots LOL :p

Thanks for a great thread - I've started looking through (but had to stop as I'm actually at work ;) ) and am now getting *very* excited about my holiday! :D

(where is Lake Tekapo?...)Roughly half way in South Island - half way between one end and the other (though slightly S of the midpoint), and half way from one coast to the other.

On the Otago Peninsula last weekend and our oldest son kept telling us they were sealions on the beach - 'don't be silly son it's just a few big rocks, come on let's go look round here ....' :) Then our friends the sealions roared at us for getting just a tad too close :D

[Leccy-Lee]

Awesome pictures guys, i was working northwards this week and planned to stop and take some photos around the Manawatu gorge etc, but no the damn thick clouds had to roll over instead!

[Spooky]

Moorf, that picture makes me want to make a trip down to the South during our North Island recce trip even it means taking the Tranz Alpine for a day only! What an amazing shot!

[Leo]

Thank for sharing your awesome pictures... the scenic landscapes are simply breath-taking! :nice1 :nice1

We stopped to look at a pretty, steaming lake near Rotorua - and there they were. They were a really impressive size. We just had to take a photo. We're collecting shots for the 'Real NZ' calendar we're planning....

[pinkpiggy]

Sam, now I finally understand the post on your housebuilding thread. Let's hope they weren't the reason the lake was 'steaming'. :laugh :laugh

[Beachcombers]

Nice shots, never heard of the diesel burners, interesting..

Cheers, the burners are a bit controversial. Some people believe they have very little effect (heat going straight up). On this particular vineyard they have 200 of the things going, which if nothing else, makes for a great sight at night!

[gemmanz]

Apart from the smelly pants these photos are fantastic.
For someone like me who can't come over for at least 2 years it is so nice to see all this fantastic scenery

A heck of a lot cheaper than using helicopters though!

Surely one burning helicopter would keep a much larger area warm, no?.......oh, I see....sorry.
