One afternoon, while camping at Duvauchelle (on the Banks Peninsula, the most french part of New Zealand), the sun streamed through the cloud and made up for the rather gloomy day we had.
Hi guys! This year I'll be putting up fewer shots, but hopefully improving the quality at the same time. Sort of a 'best of' if you like. This community is terrific in so many ways - I love it even if I don't often comment. The people on here make it a great place to be. I'm also writing a health-related blog - if you're interested, hop on over to http://healthskills.wordpress.com/ and make yourself known!

@komp1ic8ed: Thanks! Was a real rush to get to it before the rays went. From memory, I think it was about 10 minutes all up before the rays just disappeared!
Great job Adiemus!

@Kheoh Yee Wei: Not quite heaven, but there are times when I can think of nowhere I'd rather be! Well, apart from up in Kaikoura, diving!!

@Stu: Thank you.
Lovely shot! You're making me homesick, Adiemus! Banks Peninsular is one of my favorite places.

@shutterfirefly: Come on over, at least for a visit even if you can't stay longer!! Having travelled a bit, I still think NZ is one of the most photogenic countries in the world, and all in one compact package!
Just superb! It makes me think to those ancient paintings about Last Judgment...

that's almost religious. wow.

@matts: Isn't it amazing!! And I RAN to get it, and snapped off about three photo's - then it all went dark... That one was on my old Olympus mju 400, and at that stage in my photography I think I only cropped it and didn't do any other postprocessing! So definitely something almost religious happened to make it come out the way it did.
