More pictures from "down under"

When I returned home from the trip to New Zealand and Australia, I found that I had taken more than 300 pictures in just two weeks! I've been slowly culling through them, and I've posted a number of them in earlier entries. However, I've found two that I especially like. Both were taken in Queenstown, and provide just a taste of how magnificent the scenery is in the mountains of the South Island. I've uploaded them to my Lulu storefront, but you can get a better view by clicking on the thumbnail image. The first photo was shot from the balcony of my hotel room, and shows the steamship T.S.S. Earnslaw on Lake Wakatipu, in front of a snow capped mountain. I took the second photo during a walk along the lake shore one morning. This sailboat captured my attention, and I carefully positioned myself to shoot it against the stunning backdrop of trees and mountains.

There are more great pictures sitting on my hard drive, and someday I might actually find something to do with them all! But these were two of my favorites, and I just needed to share.

Thanks! I don't get enough time to go out and just take pictures, but I enjoy myself when I do.
