Angela you captured some NZ scenery with reflection perfectly here. I know we have a lot of this about NZ but it is a bit more difficult for me to get to it. Keep them coming - everyone will love these. Cheers, Bernz

Looks like a very peaceful place.

Thank you for your comments. We are very lucky to have beautiful scenery like this throughout NZ. The North Island is different to the South Island so there is always some new to see.

Shmelly, unfortunately the weather is not always this great as we have alot of rain and more cloud than blue sky, but the weather has been absolutely gorgeous the last few days (a taste of the summer coming up)

Well done Angelb, these are charming.
A set of pictures anyone would be proud to have taken and proud to display.
Maraetai Dam, Central North Island, is a beautiful location and looks to have the potential for even more visits, good job
