Liners' Photoblog
Southern Alps
Posted by Linerberry (Sumner, Christchurch, New Zealand) on 6 August 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
Flying over the Southern Alps is a thrill at any time of the year, this is summer time flying back from Aukland to Christchurch. I always make sure my seat is on the right side of the plane for the best view of the Alps.
Don't forget****** "Silly Tuesday" ******where you can post anything that is silly, funny, daft or just makes you laugh!!!
Its a family affair.....

This is a really an awesome view in every letter of the word, to be flying over such terrain must make you humble.
