Almost there... by maggiemae

Almost there...

The fast flowing river in the last post made this far too difficult to attempt so poor Mr Man turned his bike around and eventually found another road going north!

He arrived at a lovely bay in the Marlborough Sounds and quietly motored along this pier to the end hoping to get a good mobile connection. Yolanda can’t be far away!

Three Good Things:
1. Its great to see this scene again from my photos and use it to advantage!
2. I sold 3 of my books and John sold 4 of his with orders today!
3. One of the visitors who bought a book was Welsh and knew a lot about Wales and where we might visit later in the year! He told me how to pronounce, Betws-y-coed!
Love the colours and reflections. Such a peaceful place to sit and relax.

Great composition, colors, reflections...Mr. Man is doing his thing :)
March 21st, 2016  
Mr Man is in a beautiful location there!
March 21st, 2016  
It is a gorgeous scene, but I'm sure it does not distract Mr. Man's mind from his quest. Fav, and I can't wait for the next installment.

This is so beautiful.

lol...love his reflection...it must be something in the water....amazing view he has also

Such a beautiful scene , colour and reflections - But I am sure Mr Man is oblivious to his beautiful surroundings as he is frantic in search of Yolanda !
March 21st, 2016  
@beryl He asked one of the locals where the best reception was, Beryl and they said - out to sea! But this is as far as he can go!

@maree_sanderson I 'cloned' his reflection Maree but I couldn't turn it upside down!
March 21st, 2016  
How beautiful this is especially on black. You have some glorious vibrant color in it. I'm sure Mr. Man is thrilled to be revisiting some places you have traveled on your excursions too.

@grammyn Its certainly great motorbike country, Katy!
March 21st, 2016  
@maggiemae did you pass through on motorbike?

Lee
Got to admit that your images are one of a kind and unique in the way you edit them. You have a creative mind.
March 21st, 2016  
Very dreamy reflections xx

Beautiful shot
March 21st, 2016  
@maggiemae ...lol...fun shot...
March 21st, 2016  
@grammyn No, by car, Katy - we don't travel on a motorbike for two reasons - 1, I refuse to and 2, the vintage motorbike is too hard to start
March 21st, 2016  
Beautiful!
March 21st, 2016  
Excellent shot

@maggiemae smart girl
March 22nd, 2016  
@olivetreeann It is in a very remote area in the Marlborough Sounds, Ann - no shops, no cinema, no takeaways! No reception either!
March 22nd, 2016  
A beautiful scene!
March 22nd, 2016  
Brilliantly constructed reflections. Very clever.
March 22nd, 2016  
@tonydebont Only the bike reflection is constructed Tony! The others are all natural! So I'm not that clever!
March 22nd, 2016  
Beautiful scene with a great reflection. too bad Mr. Man isn't enjoying it as he usually would...his mind is on Yolanda.
March 22nd, 2016

Fav Gorgeous capture, view and reflections. I have been to North Wales and to Betws-y-Coed. We had an amazingly beautiful time there. We went to the very top of Mount Snowdon, too. Worth visiting.
March 22nd, 2016  
Ahhh, excellent viewpoint to attempt to "be in range"
March 22nd, 2016

Well done with your books Maggie & John! I have not seen your book since I got back from South Island....Jo has it & is enjoying it very much! You can't blame Yolanda for heading for this beautiful place....I expect the men that live around these parts are very fit!!
March 24th, 2016  
thanks for your responses, Pat - I have had to order more books to cope with demand - not that big though! Of course , this time I've had to pay for this new consignment including freight so I may have to increase the price for the new lot.
