Drought .... by julzmaioro

Drought ....

The North Island and parts of the South Island of New Zealand are in the throughs of a severe drought at the moment with no rain to speak of since before Christmas ... With our area being a large dairy farm area this is not good and has meant that we have had to dry the cows off two months earlier .. This is the view out my dining room window and normally lovely green hills.. The little bit of green is kikukyu grass that can handle some drought but even that is not looking good now.. This sky made us think that we may get some rain but not this day .. we had a little this morning but not enough to get excited about ..
Love the lighting!

Hope it breaks soon my tank is close to empty and to get a tanker round is a 3 week wait due to demand. Lovely shot though.

When you see flooding in some places it is sad to see such draught, wishing there was a way to equalize things.

Such a great photo, but sad that it looks this way. Drought is so devastating.

it's hard to image NZ in a drought but you have captured it so well - but sad to see though! Hope some of this rain crossing eastern Aust moves down to you. fav

Oh dear I’m so sorry. This photo certainly shows how dry everything is.

Wow, that looks very dry for NZ, hope you get some decent rain soon :)

Huge contrast: such a beautiful capture and such a difficult situation. All that remains is hope.

Love the way you caught the light on the golden hill. But I can empathize with drought. We haven’t had rain since January. It is our winter. We are at 40% of normal rain.

I've never even thought of NZ having a drought!
