Blue Day, Reflections

Butchers Dam and lake on a perfect autumn day with clear blue sky and good reflections. Near to Alexandra in Central Otago. New Zealand. Flat Top Hill Conservation Area, dry land ecosystem.

Blue and Yellow

Autumn landscape beauty. Roxburgh, Central Otago. Yesterday afternoon. New Zealand

Autumn Drive

Central Otago is the place to go in autumn so we headed there today, hoping to see some colour.

Park Hill Domain

Yesterday afternoon we took a rural drive along Switzers Road which follows a ridge through farm country and affords wonderfully extensive views to hills and mountains.

Big Bare Dam

A different dam in this post to the ferny one I've been showing, but it's also from the gold mining days and it's still an earth dam. The difference is that this one's in Central Otago and its inside wall is lined with rocks (the work is done wonderfully as one of the builders, David...
