Old Man Range

A shot from the other day when I went with my sister Carrie for a drive up into the hills beyond Alexandra. Tough country for the sheep, and they were happy to get some shade from the big rocks.

I recognise this wild Central Otago scene with the rocks, the twisting road and the sheep, probably Merino! Its quite unique I feel!

[Elsie T]

Lovely scene so different from our Scottish hills.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Such vastness and arid looking land

[Margo]

Lovely country scene

[Sue Wilde]

What a wonderful view of this country

[Rachel]

Beautiful view. It's actually looking a bit dry too, or perhaps it is that golden grass.

[Dianne]

@888rachel It's a very dry part of NZ and gets extremely hot down this way in summer.

[Denise Wood]

Amazing country!

[Sgt. Pepper]

Love Otago colours.

[Call me Joe]

Stunning scenery!

[Mary Lou]

this is what I loved so much when I visited NZ, the great open country. A great landscape!

[Denise (lyndemc)]

That is some vast country below you. Cute that the one sheep is keeping an eye on you while the others eat.

[Kathie]

Almost missed the sheep. Thanks for pointing them out. Quite a rough landscape.

[Taffy]

I love the sheep peeking out from the rocks, and the golden tones are quite striking.

[Margo]

nice shot

[Renata Jaroscakova]

That is very unusual landscape for me, without trees, only golden grass and rocks. Thank you for sharing.

[Maggie]

Another lovely composition with those sheep in the foreground and the colours of summer.
