Nelson Lakes

Posted by Linerberry (Christchurch, New Zealand) on 16 January 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

This is for Mamo/Mum.
Taken in 2006 when Mum came to NZ and we packed up the campervan and off we went ot discover the north of the South Island. We came across Nelson Lakes National Park
This is Lake Rotaroa.

Don't forget****** "Silly Tuesday" ******where you can post anything that is silly, funny, daft or just makes you laugh!!!
For those of you that don't know the origin of Silly Tuesday here is a bit if a run down....It started on this day. My thoughts were as follows......
Monday is the start of the week...
Wednesday is the middle of the week.....
Thursday is nearly Friday and Friday is the start of the weekend:-)
I know some people work weekends as I am one of them:-)
But its still the weekend BUT......
What is Tuesday???? Its just a Silly Day that means nothing....so thats where ST came from:-)
Join in the Silliness:-)
Love Silly Mama:-)

If you post on ST then leave a link on my page then others get to see your silliness:-)

This is so beautiful. I love the colors and your Mamo's red is the spark of color to make the photo POP!
I had a dream of seeing Milford Sound, but as the years have passed, it gets farther and farther away. :(

There's an old movie from the 50's this shot reminds me of visually. I'm wanting to say "Leave Her to Heaven" but it might be something with James Mason or Bob Hoskins.
