Parkinson Lake and Tasman Sea by julzmaioro

Parkinson Lake and Tasman Sea

Last night Farmer George had to go and check the water line and troughs up at our Runoff block .. It is amongst the hills and has a really good 'look out' to the Tasman Sea to the West and over farm land to the hills beyond to the South and the East .. It was a glorious night even though a bit scary as FG likes to scare me a bit with his 4x4 driving .. but it was worth it .. the small lake is Parkinson Lake and we were told as Kids that it was bottomless... I have swam in it and I must admit I didn't touch the bottom when only a few feet from the edge .. so maybe it is .. Another claim to fame is that it was one of the spots the a NZ film was filmed here several years ago .. Called 'The Price of Milk' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CCws3v_ptI It was a little strange .. but great to see some familar scenery ...
Beautiful lighting - sure is a lovely piece of country. I think I would have been walking!
