Lake House

This is a man made development in Canterbury, NZ where canals and a lake have been created and people build houses that front on to the water. Way out of our financial league but great to admire. We were up here to meet a business colleague as there was a good restaurant here.

Three good things;
1. He paid for the lunch.
2. We had booked a B&B to stay afterwards.
3. Still can't photograph ducks properly!

Love your great processing here, Maggiemae. Nice highkey.

We're you in a boat or across the lake? Terrific shot and processing.

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn No, Katy this is just one of the canals. I was walking along the side and looking across. Thanks for your nice comments!

[Kerri]

Cool processing

I visited a community like this in Florida once- very posh! Nice shot. Is it really a good thing that you can't photograph ducks properly?

[Maggiemae]

@olivetreeann Yes it is, Ann because it means there is nothing wrong with my settings - I've tried so many - I need a new camera!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@maggiemae Ohhh! I see the thought behind that then!

[Karen]

Great shot, love the high key.

[Taffy]

Wow -- this is beautiful!!!

[Harry J Benson]

[Jan K]

Gorgeous!

[Peggy Sirk]

Beautiful shot...perfect setting for high key.

[Carole Imes]

Love the framing of this beautiful idyllic setting. I've always wanted to live on a canal.

[Rick Schies]

Very nice shot, and it is a beauty to set along the water front

[Pat Knowles]

What a great place to be...that house looks amazing!! We watched Wanted Down Under this morning on TV where families come across to either NZ or Aus & see if they would like to emigrate. NZ this morning & I must say the house around Auckland were so impressive!

[Terry]

I want to go there

[Beryl Lloyd]

Super image and capture Maggie

[Molly]

I really like the way you've presented this shot - beautiful!

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Beautiful!

[Stephanie Swift]

Quite a sumptuous place, well photographed and processed!

[tony gig]

A beautiful view and shot Maggie.

[Mr. Spock]

Beautiful high key look!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat Houses in Auckland are SO expensive as they are here! Completely outrageous! Great to visit though! Thanks for posting Judith to my site!

[Judith Johnson]

Beautifully presented and what a great spot. Thanks for the follow. Whereabouts are you? Have we bypassed your part of this beautiful island?

[Maggiemae]

@busylady I live in Oamaru so most of my photos are around the Waitaki area, Judith!

[Gillian]

Looks like a great place to live, if one can afford it ;( Really like your processing. The high-key effect really lets the house stand out.

[Pam Knowler]

Beautiful house - lovely processing!!

[Leonie M]

There are a few of these developments down South around the Bunbury area.....also very expensive.
Really like the framing.

[Mary Downing Hahn]

What a lovely spot -- too bad we're all not rich enough to live there!

[❀ Lynn]

Looks like a beautiful place to live! Nice you got to hob-nob a little!
