Photo of Grassland Meadow and Mountains

 

Photo of mountains and grassland meadow This grassland meadow was actually an intense gold color but it appears washed out in this jpg file. Unfortunately a lot of color information is lost when converting the uncompressed image file to allow for fast internet download.

More information about the photo and location and a larger image can be viewed by clicking the image.

I appreciate any comments you care to make about this and any of my photos posted at ArikiArt.

Photograph of Lake Wakatipu, New Zealand

 

Lake Wakatipu New ZealandNew Zealand offers some of the finest scenery in the world for landscape photography. I had the privilege of growing up there, but have only recently seen much of its most beautiful places going back to my homeland as a tourist visiting from my adopted home of California.



One of the most popular, and now in my opinion a "victim of its own success", is Queenstown, an alpine resort town sitting on the edge of Lake Wakatipu.




This photograph of Lake Wakatipu was taken from Highway 6 en route from Queenstown to Kingston which is located at the southern end of the lake. The photo was taken about half-way from a view point at the side of the road.
