Landscape Pictures
One of my favourite shots from my trip to Western Australia in 2003 was a picture of a mother and child strolling by Busselton jetty. Little did I realize how similar in subject matter this particular shot at Jack’s Bay (along the Caitlin Coast of New Zealand) was until I started to post this blog entry. We were actually heading towards Jack’s Blowhole but took a wrong turn. Fortunately, the wrong turn led to a high vantage point which came in perfect for this picture! 🙂
The rainbow from my previous post at Lake Tekapo lingered on for quite a while, giving me wonderful opportunities to play around with landscape compositions. This is another of my efforts: for this particular one, I decided to use the pink Russell Lupins as a foreground in contrast to the dramatic lighting of dawn at the lake.
Lake Tekapo is home to the Church of the Good Shepherd which has been described as New Zealand’s most-often photographed church. We certainly added more numbers to the Church’s photograph count when we were there 😛 Rewarding us for our early photographic reveille was a brilliant rainbow (actually this was the second we saw that morning, the first is here on my dad’s photoblog) that arced over the Church.
Hopefully, 2008 will be a year of colourful rainbows for everyone too 🙂 Happy New Year!
