Wanganui River by maggiemae

Wanganui River

Wanganui is supposed to be spelt with a 'wh' but I always knew it this way. As the river is a very brown one, I thought I would de colour the rest. It is right in front of where we are sited at the moment!
Three Good Things;
1 A jar of marmite fell out of the overhead locker on to my computer and damaged the screen! Good thing is it didn't affect its running and you can ignore the dotted slash.
2. George Peter Smith (aka GPS) took us a shortcut AGAIN and the road petered out to a windy gravel one! But ended up on an asphalt road.
3. Made a curry out of cooked sausages and did some rice all on one element that runs with electricity which we have here. Saves gas.
Even in black and white New Zealand is a beautiful country. I hope you are enjoying your journey :)

When we lived in Wanganui, the river was known as the only river that ran upside down as it was so brown! Nice peaceful scene for parking up. Love the name of your GPS but they can be fickle with directions. I always thought marmite was dangerous - I'm sure Vegemite wouldn't have done that damage! Lol.

@kiwinanna Maybe if I'd bought the plastic version it wouldn't have been so bad. This one was a glass jar.

@k1w1 In NZ every place is so different! I would love to make a book about all those differences!

those are pretty steep grass banks on the other side of the river. You found another great place here in your travels.

@helenhall This river has historic boats going up and down - I'm hoping to get a photo of one or the two. Also canoe trips for miles!

Quite ominous in B/W

B&W is the perfect choice to make this a beautiful scene wheere the colors don't distract!

Any way you spell it looks strange to me! Sorry about your screen but glad it still runs. Maybe you should forgo the marmite in the future!

B&W brings out the varying "textures"!

@grammyn you know what they say on passenger planes before you get off - - take care when opening the overhead lockers as items may have shifted in flight- - Applies here!

@maggiemae LOL! You need to get yourself your very own stewardess then!

Your poor computer! But well done on turning a brown river into a wonderful scene.

Great composition and processing.

And at least you still have the Marmite intact! Aye me, I love that stuff. Vegemite just doesn't cut it for me!

@maggiemae Looking forward to reading that :) I read one of your photo blurbs and it made me a little sad to know we had kind of been invaded.
