Waikuku Beach #1

Posted by Linerberry (Christchurch, New Zealand) on 7 March 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

No wonder the Maori call New Zealand
"Aotearoa", the Land of the "long white cloud"

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:-)

You've made a great use of the wide angle, the sky is beautiful and I love the low horizon to emphasize the wonderful sky even more.
