Wow, does it just feel surreal sometimes? When do we get to see some hobbits? When I look at your pictures like this I am just amazed at the stunning scenery. Unbelieveable! Great sunlight btw in this photo...was this early morning?

I can image myself wearing lots of heavy clothes, watching people ski, while I sip cold beer(coz I dont know how to ski).

Impressive background, excellent light... could be a photo for a postcard or a travelling guide!

wow! is this also New Zealand? It is definitely going to be my next holiday destination:)

What a beautiful picture. You haven't been skiing in awhile. This picture reminds me of Whistler where it was 17C in the village and very cold up the mountain.

I think it was actually at sunset ... we drove back to take a few pictures before heading back to Auckland. The scenary of the all Tongariro National Park was just breathtaking.

this is indeed beautiful - love those snowy mountains. It is neat to see green grass contrasted with cold snowy mountains.

Beautiful landscape..

OK, I want to move now! fabulous picture
