Big Sky Hokitika

Inspired by Mike Parker's lonely bench project, I love it check it out @miamispice
@miamispice imitation is the sincerest form of flattery :)

That is a bench with an amazing view. I like how you've included all that sky.

Love all the layers of blue both in the sky and mountains. The grass in the bottom really compliments the blues.
Thanks for the heads up on mike's lonely bench project. @miamispice a whole project dedicated to benches is amazing.

Amazing landscape with those empty benches which really evoke the feeling of loneliness.

Now that's an awesome shot!! I've been to that exact spot many times and never even picked up my camera!!! Thanks for the inspiration :)

I really like this. It captures Hokitika from a viewpoint not often seen. Funny thing is, I was going to put up a lonely bench yesterday, but decided to wait until today - and I had never heard of the project. I'll check it out. Thanks

What a beautiful view one sees from these benches. This is such a nicely composed photo. And thank you for sharing a link to Mike's Lonely Bench Project. I thoroughly enjoyed going through those photos.

How interesting, I love the idea of a project and have been on the site. Being alone on these benches is heaven to me.

@miamispice there are some wonderful benches here in New Zealand, and usually unoccupied :)

Very nice picture Kali! so peaceful, love the composition and the idea of the lonely bench project. I also have something like it in my project http://365project.org/camim/365/2013-12-01

@kali66 thanks for all the feedback jan 1nd to jan 11th are all from NZ - a personal fave is the jan 3rd offering from queenstown !! Sadly will have to make do mostly with uk ones for the remainder of the year with some local Europe trips planned hopefully !

very strange set of inclusions, in a perspective-shifting way i like a lot. each stratum contains a particular, unique object space/shape/texture/color/idea, and one can follow the concept of a human civilization starting from the ground up---natural history progressing through technological achievement and then following our short life spans into the oblivion of eons. that it is an empty bench is, to me, even more suggestive and evocative.

Such a serene composition! Must check out this bench project.

Beautiful love the focus on the sky with the composition.
