Come Fly With Me - To New Zealand

[AntZ]

Just catching back up with this thread. Lots on wonderful bird shots. The heron on the rock, the pigeon are standouts for me. The landscapes are fabulous too.

Another terrible day dawned in New Zealand's central plateau region of Taupo with the forecast of 100 kph winds and driving rain.
I tell ya ... the best weather man is your bedroom window in the morning!!
Instead of huddling up in the holiday house we ventured out for a walk in and around the town of Taupo itself. We followed the course of the river and ended up way above the river looking down into it's emerald coloured waters in the early morning light.

NZ's longest river starts right here at the boat harbour at the head of the lake

Thanks so much MA, for sharing your vacation with us. Beatiful images, all. I suspect many have now put New Zealand high on their list for 'must see' locations.

Thanks for coming in and watching Doug. Hopefully I'll find time to put more up soon ... still the most amazing river I've ever seen, trout, cool alpine environments etc to come.
