Lake Rotoiti by maggiemae

Lake Rotoiti

In the Nelson Lakes area. The net connection is so tenuous I can only type one sentence at a time! We arrived here after a long rainy drive from Cape Foulwind (love that name)! The lake was still but we couldn't see the high mountains on either side. Gradually being able to explain more....., If I keep trying for the next 3 hours, I might be able to get my three good things in!

Three good things:
1. I have plenty of time and will not let poor net connection beat me!
2. I counted 28 sandfly bites on just one foot but found hot chilli sauce works a treat- applied topically!
3. Making a movie of our travels to send to overseas family but running out of time for postage now!
Perfect!

Wonderful composition!

Beautiful view -- water and mountains both and a lovely dreamy quality. Cape Foul Wind, eh? I can just imagine how it got its name!
December 9th, 2013  
this is beautiful maggie, i love the low clouds on the hills ...sorry about the bites !!

Beautiful pov, and the calmness of the water is so peaceful. I find that very hot water, as hot as one can stand it, takes the itch out of mosquito bites; apparently the heat destroys the enzymes which cause the itching. Wonder if the hot sauce does something similar? I know it's a different kind of heat.

You really captured the serenity of this lake, I was there two years ago before started my tramping in the national park. It is my favorite tramp.

Not surprised this one has made the PP - it's absolutely stunning, and a big fav for me too.
December 10th, 2013  
this is such a serene view, i could almost jump in to the screen and be there. the colours are so calming. the chili sauce should kill the itch and prevent infection.
December 10th, 2013  
Superb! Fav

(Afraid care duties have meant photography put on hold at the moment)

Beautiful Maggie. I have one that looks like it might be taken at the same spot, but without the low lying clouds. I will have a look for it tomorrow and put it on Facebook.
