Flooded Kahikatea's

@dide and I went on a little tiki tour looking for some shots today and we came across this scene.. This is an overflow from the Waikato River with additional rain over the last few weeks. The Kahikatea is also known as the White Pine and they were used as ships mast's as they are very straight and strong.. It always amazes me that they are often under water but they still soldier on..

@maggiemae Thanks Maggie.. the farmer probably doesn't think it is so good.. several acres under water..

It was a great day out. Although sad for the farmer, it made for a fabulous image with all those reflections. Fav
