Smile More Beautiful NZ

A little more of NZ I would like to share....The beautiful Wairere Falls are truly a sight to see and well worth the climb. The Martha Mine is also a site of great interest. Eventually this huge crater will be filled with water and turned into a recreational lake. And the final one of the bridge, capturing the autumn tonings, I thought was worth sharing as well. I hope you enjoy.

I like your frames & presentation, the falls are gorgeous, the mining pit really shows off the depth, and the bridge shot is lovely.

Wow what a lovely set of captures. The collage is beautiful. The second and third ones are also gorgeous views of your lovely country. Great work Keenlearner and so well presented.

Dave.

Great set. The waterfalls are magnificent. That pit is soooo deep, it'll probably make a heck of a lake and I really like the colors of the leaves in the last shot.

Very Nice set Keenlearner! I went online and read a little about the Martha Gold Mine; Very interesting history. I love your waterfall collage.
Thank You for sharing these

Very interesting history Michael, and we are fortunate to be close enough to follow developments there. Thanks for your comments. Much appreciated.
