Top o' the Pass

The Otira viaduct powers away down the valley from this spot overlooking the Arthur's Pass Valley in the South Island of NZ Mr Man, our Nuts'n'Bolts man is about to tackle this road. If you enlarge this photo you can see one car on it! Our wee blondie is hanging on for grim death as there are Keas around here too all zooming in for bright and shiny objects to carry away!

Chico Marx wants to know "Why a duck? Why not a horse or a chicken?"

[Maggiemae]

@deburahiru I think her last appointment with her hairdresser was either a disappointment or a new challenge, Deb!

[Maggiemae]

@leananiemand I think he has been encouraged by your worldly shots, Leana!

[michelle mcintyre]

[Buffy]

Hang on blondie! It's a loooong way down! When I went through here just a few weeks ago it started to snow and reached 0 degrees. It looks a bit clearer in your pic is it warmer now too?

[Anatoly]

A ricky man is Mr Man!

[Sharon]

Gorgeous view and what a beautiful ride it will be. Nice capture.

[Jen]

great shot, and that road looks amazing.. watch out Blondie

[Myrna O'Hara]

Her purple hair will fend them off. good thing they didn't get blown over the edge here, looks to be a ways down.

[Lisa Pouncy]

Wow! Awesome scale xx

[Lindy]

Oooh maybe a coat with a hood might disguise her. I hope she has time to enjoy that stunning view.

[Lyn]

Well, possibly she needs to tone down the dress and hairdo just a bit? But whatever Mr. Man likes. . .

[Maggiemae]

@lwain I like that idea for our Miss Purple! A hoodie, I will make!

[Maggiemae]

@lyno Yes, Lyn, her dress is more evening than bikie! However it does get them into places very easily without paying!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Beautiful country- but those keas sound annoying!
