Default The High Life

I've been on my annual family ski vacation in the Southern Alps, so not much time left for photography. When not watching in terror as my 5-year old attempts jumps I wouldn't, I did manage to snatch this.

The High Life

Thanks for looking.

Yes, here's a pana from where the two subjects are sitting, taken on a cloudless day. That's Lake Wanaka below.

It does look cold, but that doesn't seem like such a bad thing just now with out triple digit heat....however it wouldn't feel good for long. This is a great shot...both are. Beautiful place and thanks for showing us, as I know I will never be going there.
