Elephant Rocks Otago.

Located near Duntroon, between Oamaru and Omarama in Otago, the Elephant Rocks are fairly straightforward to find: from near Duntroon, take Livingston-Duntroon Road and follow the signposts until you get to the Elephant Rocks.The Elephant Rocks are massive limestone formations sitting in a sea of grass on private farmland. The rocks were once sand at the bottom of the sea that accumulated 25 million years ago. These sediments were buried and the pressure turned the sand into rock, or limestone. When the whole area of limestone lifted and surfaced, the forces of the wind and water did their part in shaping the limestone.The rocks come in all shapes and sizes, and are popular with climbers, especially for doing some serious bouldering. The area may also give some people a certain sensation of dÃ©jÃ vu; especially those that are fans of â€œThe Chronicles of Narniaâ€ movie: the Elephant Rocks served as a location for Aslanâ€™s camp.

High Green The Cairns Lake Tekapo.

It was the wide open spaces that first brought the pioneer farmers up into the Mackenzie Basin. Large station runs were established with sweat and dog, beginning the Mackenzie's long and on-going association with the high country sheep station. Lake Tekapo was formed thousands of years ago when the glacial ice from the last ice age retreated, leaving behind a natural dam of rock debris behind which the lake was formed. It was on this ancient debris that Mt John Station was established and from the station's high points, stunning vistas of Lake Tekapo and the Mackenzie are a delight to behold. It is from this high country run that the Cairns Golf Course has been established. It was the wide open spaces that first brought the pioneer farmers up into the Mackenzie Basin.

Jetty. French Pass.NZ

After a long drive, it is always a pleasure arriving in French Pass. The road winds dramatically as you make a short, sharp descent into the village. After a long drive at elevation, it always comes as a bit of a shock to suddenly be at the beach. The views to Dâ€™urville Island are always stunning, and the jetty is a welcome site after a long, dusty drive. After a long drive, it is always a pleasure arriving in French Pass.

Natural History Museum

Here is an hdr photograph taken from the Natural History Museum. Located in London, England, UK. Photography is allowed in the NHM, but the use of tripods isn't allowed. Knowing this in advance I decided to bring a photographic bean bag with me. I strapped the camera on to the photographic bean bag, which was then placed on the railings. NO tripod was used when taking the photographs for the HDR image.

The Wairepo Arm Twizel NZ

The Wairepo Arm is a part of the bigger Lake Ruataniwha, located near Twizel on New Zealandâ€™s South Island. The entire South Island is one of the most photogenic places Iâ€™ve been; it seems that at ever turn in the road or over ever hill crest is another stunning landscape begging to be photographed.

Tree lined avenue.

In landscaping, an avenue or allÃ©e is traditionally a straight route with a line of trees or large shrubs running along each side, which is used, as its French source venir ("to come") indicates, to emphasize the "coming to," or arrival at a landscape or architectural feature. In most cases, the trees planted in an avenue will be all of the same species or cultivar, so as to give uniform appearance along the full length of the avenue.

Yellow road marker.

Yellow cat's eyes, road studs or retroreflective raised pavement markers (RRPMs) are used to visually reinforce a yellow no-passing line. The painted passing line can be less visible when the road is wet. Usually a white cat's eye is used in the centre of the road if overtaking is permitted. If yellow cat's eyes are present they are bi-directional if the line is applicable in both directions, or mono-directional if it's only applicable in one direction and spaced every 10m. On unlit rural roads the markers are in groups of four, one metre apart, with 10m between each group. Only one of the group of four road studs is required to be reflective. On no overtaking advance warning lines they are spaced 20m apart. The yellow cats eyes are the same kind as used in the UK or Australia and they are used in the same manner.

Doubtful Sound. New Zealand.

Doubtful Sound / Patea is a very large and naturally imposing fiord (despite its name) in Fiordland, in the far south west of New Zealand. It is located in the same region as the smaller but more famous and accessible Milford Sound. It took second place after Milford Sound as New Zealand's most famous tourism destination. History Doubtful Sound was named 'Doubtful Harbour' in 1770 by Captain Cook, who did not enter the inlet as he was uncertain whether it was navigable under sail. It was later renamed Doubtful Sound by whalers and sealers, although it is not technically a sound but a fiord.

The Hollyford River. Fiordland NZ

The Hollyford River is located in the southwest of the South Island of New Zealand. It runs for 128 kilometres (80 mi) through Fiordland, its source being 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) to the north of the northern tip of Lake Te Anau and close to the Homer Tunnel. The river flows north through the glacier-formed Hollyford Valley, passing through Lake McKerrow before reaching Martins Bay on the coast of the Tasman Sea 25 kilometres north of Milford Sound. The Hollyford Track follows the river's course. Part of the river's course is traditionally regarded as the boundary between the Southland and Otago regions.

Lone tree Lake Wanaka. NZ

Lake Wanaka is location at the foot of the Southern Alps of NZ Sth Island with the wilderness of Mt Aspiring National Park nearby. Roys Bay is at the southern end of Lake Wanaka. Rooted firmly into the earth near the shore of Roys Bay is a lone tree. On high tide its base is submerged. How it got there I don't know. Was it a seed dropped by a bird many years ago, maybe. One thing's for sure, it's a very popular tree with photographers, painters and sightseers. A famous land mark to the area.
