Strider Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Are you on a walkabout, Kiwi? Looks like a nice lake. Do people fish there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Are you on a walkabout, Kiwi? Looks like a nice lake. Do people fish there?In a way, I am, Strider. These photos were taken on Rangitoto Island, which is a scenic reserve, outside city limits. My mom and I, got there by ferry in the morning, from Waitemata Harbour and had around an hour and 45 minutes to walk around and just take in the scenery, after which we and the other 'tourists', boarded the ferry again and had a mini-tour of the harbour (which lasted for about half an hour), before getting back to the city. I really enjoyed every minute of it and my only complaint is that the tour of Rangitoto Island, could have been a tad bit longer (around 4 to 5 hours, me thinks! ). There was so much natural beauty to take in and so little time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrycja Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) ^ Nice photos, Kiwi! It's cool seeing photos from different places I've never been to Beautiful sunrise, zepscoda!Fabulous photos Patrycja. "A picture says 1000 words", but those say one thing to me - Fall.Here are some wintry ones I took yesterday at Mount Eisenhower, NH:Thank you, jb126! Fall is my favourite season but here it's usually so short, nature breathes in, exhales, and it's over, so when it lasted six weeks I tried to take it all in. Winter has its beauty, too, and your photos show it off beautifully! We still have green grass - warmest December in decades - so keep them coming! ^^^Very pretty Patrycja and jb126. Excellent work. Still culling thru photos I took on my trip...perhaps I will post some eventually.Thanks, Strider Looking forward to seeing your photos.

marlam Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Couple more photos from Tampere (I really like that city .) These are from the part of town called Pispala. It's really beautiful area located on an esker between two lakes. These houses must cost a fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrycja Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Finland is so beautiful. Thanks, Patrycja! By the way, many thanks for posting those beautiful photos that perfectly capture the change in seasons! They are just so beautiful! My pleasure, Kiwi Thank you, glad you like them. Autumn makes it easy. Everywhere you look is replete with intensely hued beauty. I can't stop staring at jb126's winter photos now with all the undulating blue and grey shades and the sharpness that freezing and snow bring. Of course, it's all the more pleasant without having to feel it! I hope you post some winter shots when it comes. My only NZ winter reference is LOTR lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrycja Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) This was on the news today, but it's been making its way around social media for a while. Here are some stunning photos of Lake Erie's formidable water mountains:It's obvious in a couple of them, but I like spotting faces in the water. Voldemort marks all over the place.

Patrycja Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Love the snow pics Patricia, expecially the one looking down the road!Thank you, zepscoda The remote location and co-operative winter made for some beautiful scenery. We lucked out that year.Is that a frozen waterfall?Yes! Top to bottom ice. It was around -30C that day and many before and after, not counting the howling wind chill. That walk didn't even last 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlam Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Here's something interesting. It's called Kummakivi, which would be something like "Odd rock" in English. I'm standing there, under the rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Only Way To Fly Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 This is one of my favorite shots. I took this picture from a tuk tuk three wheeler while in Dhaka, Bangladesh while on holiday in 2013. LOVE it there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
