Pukaki airport was -20C yesterday. We are thankfully located in the warmest part of the South Island being Golden Bay, where temperatures have been a warmish -2C or so the last few mornings. Happily I like cold weather so I'm like a pig in mud at the moment.

Tata Beach is, IMHO, the most beautiful beach I have ever discovered. Anywhere. And that includes the northern NSW coastline.

2,3,4 & 5 are superbly done. #1 appears to me a bit over sharpened (the foliage) and that why I rate it last despite being also a good picture.

Thanks Zaffs (and Gary and Matt). Yes you're correct. The image was heavily processed. I was standing in the middle of a tiny swing/suspension bridge over the river and trying to get a sharp image is problematic at best. Some fancy filters came to the rescue of a not 100% sharp photo. The others were all handheld.

Cheers.
