Syrupy Sunset
I love when the photons get lazy at the end of the day, and just flow over the landscape like thick maple syrup splodging across the rocks.

Sundown

And come the end of day,
In some secluded bay.
Find me in the Sun's last ray.
I'll fondly smile, and bid thee... "Stay."

Thank you! I absolutely love shooting moving water against solid rock. This one came out extra good though :)
Thank you very much! What a lovely thought!
LOL, it was accompanied by cider and a wee picnic on the side of the mountain. If it's AI, it's getting very tasty!
The Tops

The high peaks of New Zealand Southern Alps, just lovely.

Cold Little Creek
Tumbling down from snow-crested peaks to the valley far below, where I wait with my camera to go "Oh, job well done, you look fantastic!" *click*

It's like being a paparazzi, but for tiny flakes of snow.

Overlooking Bryce

Early morning in Bryce Canyon. The blizzard has cleared overnight, and the day dawns bright and shiny and quiet. Oh so quiet. There's nothing quite like standing alone in fresh snow on a gorgeous morning.

Very Demure

When your Aurora is getting all demure and hiding behind the clouds, at least we can take consolation that they're pretty clouds!

Hahaha you are! The Arcanum counts as very very early!
Hey cool!! I just passed 500 followers here. Thanks everyone for following along, and I hope you're all enjoying the pictures!
Nice! I'd think it's a bit high for a good light on the water? But a lovely view there, and nicely dark!
Ribbon

Jut a green ribbon, dancing across the sky.

Thank you ! :) It's that kind of place!
A little bit tiny :) but the views are fantastic!
Curves
The Southern Coastline of NZ is always pretty, but sometimes you can find a few extra ingredients to make it that little bit nicer.

Stocking Stream Shelter

Now long gone, the Stocking Stream shelter was a welcome respite on the trek to the Hooker glacier terminal lake.

Same... it's been stuck on repeat in my head for 2 days now!!
Another Lovely Day

It's grey and raining here today, which had me looking through the archives at some of the prettier inclement weather days. And for me, it's hard to go past a snowstorm for pretty.

Solid as a Rock.

"And for love's sake, each mistake
Ah, you forgave
And soon both of us learned to trust
Not run away, it was no time to play"

I got ear-wormed editing this tonight.
I wonder how many of you will recognise it?
