Wait, do you live in Wellington?!

I like the road one and the one of the coast (without the Bluebridge) the best. The road one very much reminds me of an NZ road trip.

No I live in Auckland. But I drove all the way down to Kaikoura (thats where the Seal photos come from) taking the Inter Islander along the way. Im starting to drive back up. Currently in Palmerston North heading the rest of the way on Tuesday or Wensday.

That road is a road I have had to walk down hundreds of times. I wonder If i should post some more of my pics up.

I like the fourth one in the first set! And also the one with the cow. The road one is nice as well.

Oh and lovely car

These are REALLY good! You're very talented, you should definitely keep doing this. Maybe also make some pictures of small things (i.e. zoom in)? I can see only two technical issues, and they're easy to resolve: (1) make sure the sun is to the side of you or behind you when you make a picture, not in front of you (so as to prevent part or whole of the picture looking "bleached"), and (2) make sure you hold the camera exactly straight, so that what is horizontal/vertical in reality doesn't end up slightly diagonal on the picture.

The place you live in is absolutely beautiful. They were all perfect except the one with the road was a wee bit slanted. Still awesome, though. I must visit this "New Zealand" some day.

Heres some more Photos I took today.

This shed isn't that old. The person just didn't paint the roof for some reason. Its only a 12 year old shed.

This bridge has gone down hill a tonne since I was little. We used to drive tractors over it. Wouldnn't try that now.

Note to all: The top picture features a Kiwi outhouse, Deluxe model :wink:

I like the second one, further reminds me of road trips!
