Wow...Next time you head to New Zealand maybe you could take me along! :-)

Gorgeous picture

jimwitkowski, on April 12, 2007, said:

Natty;

New Zealand is a wonderful place for photographers. You can drop your camera and get a great shot. Unfortunetly it's costly to get there from here or I'd spend more time there.

We're returning in May for a couple of weeks. Pack your bags.

Lincluden; You described the panic I was in when this image presented itself. Not quite awake, I fumbled around nervously until I got it on film. Then I could relax and take it in.
