Queen Charlotte Sound

View from Captain Cook's lookout on Motuara Island in Queen Charlotte Sound. The Sound is part of the Marlborough Sounds in the north of the South Island, a maze of submerged river valleys where only the tops of former mountain ranges remain above sea level forming peninsulas and islands.

Blick von Captain Cook's lookout über den Queen Charlotte Sound. Dieser ist ein Teil der Marlborough Sounds, einem Gewirr abgesoffener Flusstäler im Norden der Südinsel, aus dem nur noch die Bergrücken als Halbinseln und Insel herausschauen.

Tolles Panorama, Gudrun,

besonders die Wolken sind beeindruckend!
Und das Bild ist schon in der Gruppe "Au fil de l' eau"!

Gudrun ^club has replied to volker_hmbg ^club

Herzlichen Dank, Volker! Diese Wolken waren der Rest vom schlechten Wetter. Am Morgen hatten wir noch eine etwas ruppige Überfahrt von der Nordinsel, wo es in Bar und Cafetreia einigen Bruch gab.

A beautiful clear view, Gudrun, and the PiP is wonderful too. Thank you for the names of the islands.

6 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Amelia ^club

Thank you so much, Amelia! It had been rather windy which accounts for the clarity:-) Sadly I didn't have a good lens then, there were so many birds on the island (it's a bird sanctuary) and I couldn't get any decent photos.

I am impressed with your stitching Gudrun! Both pictures are stunning. The tree is so beautiful and sculptural.

6 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne

Thanks very much, Rosa! If you think of taking the photos with enough overlap the stithing is easy:-) The tree is more like a big shrub, it's typical seaside vegetation shaped by the wind.

6 years ago.

Rosalyn Hilborne has replied to Gudrun ^club

That's what I love about the coastal trees here. You can always see which way the wind blows!

Gudrun ^club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne

They develop so much character by battling the wind.

Sehr schöne Gegend.
An vielen Stellen scheint Neuseeland unserem Europa sehr ähnlich zu sein...

Gudrun ^club has replied to ©UdoSm ^club

Danke vielmals, Udo! Du findest viele Landschaftsarten, die es bei uns gibt, auch in NZ. Von weitem sehen auch viele Bäume vertraut aus, deswegen wurden sie z.B. Südbuche genannt. Von nahem sind sie natürlich völlig anders;-)

Gudrun ^club has replied to Berny ^club

Herzlichen Dank, Berny! In NZ sagen sie zu dem Urwald "bush", es ist manchmal ein ganz schön undurchdringliches Gestrüpp.

Irres Panorama!!! Superschöne Aufnahmen, mit richtig viel Arbeitseinsatz, Klasse!

Gudrun ^club has replied to LotharW ^club

Vielen Dank, Lothar! Der Arbeitseinsatz auf dem Weg dorthin war im Matsch nach Regen deutlich höher als das Stitchen am PC;-)

Thanks very much, Karen! The view from up there was encompassing, no wonder Captain Cook chose it as a lookout:-)

Thanks, Graham! I don't miss Panoramio, but their zoom function was perfect for panoramas. Maybe some day when IMA has money for non-essentials......
