Taken with a wide angle lens while standing on top of my roof, this shot shows the expanse of NZ bush behind our home.

There is something about the bush isn't there? Amazing that it's just outside your door - great point of view and contrast of textures and shadows. I'll bet you've got the birdsong too!

@Adiemus: Glad to see another Kiwi on here. Cheers.
Wo mate nice shot. You have an amazing backyard mate. I miss my Aussie backyard now. Daz

Wow!! I did not realize before that you have such a backyard. I like the cropping with the balcony.

Excellent view & surroundings you have there! I bet it is very relaxing... Like the plunge perspective ;)

Your backyard is lush. Love those NZ ferns! Great shot!

What a view! Why would you ever leave your house? Is that a stealth-camo predator I see top right frame? Watch yourself mate...

@Duncan Galbraith: To be honest, spending a weekend at home is like spending a weekend away so my wife and I often just relax at home on the weekend. Thanks for the warning about the predator. I've got Arnie on speed dial if I need him.
What a wonderful view, you live in a beautiful contry!

Amazing. I'm jealous...unless there are snakes. :-)

@Craig Persel: No snakes or dangerous creatures of any kind. That's Australia... =)
I'd love to have a weekend home in a place like this. I hope you had a shot of the shadows and lines on the porch there.
Oh and thanks a lot for speeding back up the site. It makes browsing and commenting much much more enjoyable.
