On The Road Again

Travelling up Central Otago towards Queenstown where we will spend the next week, I stopped to take a picture of this tiny miner's cottage on the other side of this man-made lake called Lake Dunstan. It was towards evening and there is a front approaching that may bring snow! We are hunkering down!
Great capture Maggie, have fun in Queenstown

i love that ring of white around the mountains... the lake a bit overexposed? it makes for a very effective image, no matter how achieved!

Maggiemae.. Queenstown ... lovely enjoy ... this has inspired me to dig through my old NZ pics its a spectacular country .. South Island rocks :-)

@northy Yes, I think so too, looking at it. But if I reduced the exposure the lake looked fine but the rocky mountainside was almost totally black! Thanks for your comments, Northy!
