this view of a sunset over Wellington Harbour was taken from Eastbourne

look carefully and you might see a plane on approach to Wellington airport

another vibrant sunset at Nkwe

not a sunrise, but rather the sunset reflected in the eastern sky...

Springtime in Napier - Cam Theme - 39

Springtime in Napier.

Nothing says springtime more than blossoms, so there will be a few of them in this theme.

I just happened to be on a road trip at this time of year to capture some of these images.
The actual city of Napier and Art deco style architecture will have to be for another time.

There are 11 photos in this "CAM" and one guest photo .

near Blenheim, south island

a winter sunset I HAD to capture.

It was far more intense than this, but my camera had run out of batteries. Lucky for me there was a rural store nearby so I could get a digital record.

sunset Raroa

from our deck we get to see dramatic sunsets and weather -

sometimes I capture them with my camera...

Native New Zealand Cabbage tree...

Self explanatory...

"Confusion reigns..."
This one from Eastbourne, Wellington.

Raroa sunset stitch 2

This is a 3 photo stitch of the view from our deck. As with all stiched/joined photos they are best viewed in larger mode by clicking on the pic...

Raroa yellow

Another one of those..."Wow, that's cool..." moments.
It was only this colour for about a minute or so...

Kaikoura, New Zealand, Sunset 14

This is one from our all time favourite New Zealand holiday spots...

- not quite fitting into the Wellington theme, but certainly good for the sunset theme...

Raroa Sunset
From our deck looking north west - a stitched photo of two joined photos...

Mt.Kaukau sunset
Looking west towards the transmission tower on Mount Kaukau...

Jet stream sunset...

It's mostly in winter time that we get to see the jet streams like this.
Captivated by the reflection of light of them, it's now on the CAM for all to see...

This was one of those strange, almost surreal views.
the cloud blew up from the south to create a somewhat eerie feel - another stiched photo

Mout Kaukau vertical...

Another view from our deck -

Me trying to get as much of the sky into the frame as possible...

Sunset Blue...
Every so often the camera manages to capture a view that is truly unique... (I'm a point and shoot 'photographer')

None of my pics are visually 'doctored' in anyway - other than cropping and resizing - so this particular coloured sunset is interesting to me.
