Vantage Point by maggiemae

Vantage Point

Our last walk in this wooded Park and once again admiring the different species of trees. From all parts of the world!

Three good things:
1. The couple with the barking dog moved off to the relief of the lady with three cats!
2. Part of the Park was mown and looks so gorgeous.. The guy on the ride on started at 8am and was still going at 3pm!
3. Only 40 minutes and we were home.
Another fabulous image utilizing the benches provided as part of the subject. It make a mysterious image to catch this fella from the back

@grammyn Hubby does as he's told - go and sit on that bench!
January 13th, 2017  
Maggiemae, I've enjoyed browsing through your last week or so's photos and reading between the lines as to things are with you... good I think and that's one good big thing ;-)
January 13th, 2017  
@vignouse Thank you Richard - you are right!
January 13th, 2017  
That's a good man!
January 13th, 2017  
Another lovely shot Maggiemae hope you are both enjoying your break
January 13th, 2017  
@grammyn He's good at sitting Katy - getting him to take a walk is more difficult!

@dawnee Finished now - got to get my head down and do GST for two of our companies...yuck!

looks like a great park!

Wonderful bench to sit and admire the world around you -- grand big trees in the scene so nice to have only a short drive home after what seems a relaxing time to unwind after a traumatic start to the year !
January 13th, 2017  
What a wonderful scene and great processing.
January 13th, 2017  
@beryl Yes, Beryl - somewhat traumatic - will always be affected by this but looking forward to new horizons!

Lovely composition and sensitive processing.
January 13th, 2017  
This makes me want to be there and enjoy the surroundings.
January 14th, 2017  
@vera365 It was a lovely strong timber seat, Vera and a place to listen to the birds as well as look over the tree tops!
January 14th, 2017  
Wonderful image, composition...love the greenery
January 14th, 2017  
Lovely image!!
January 14th, 2017  
A short drive to this lovely wooded area....that bench looks toward lovely view of the trees. So pleased you had a refreshing time..:) :)
January 14th, 2017  
@happysnaps I think the nicest thing was after 7pm and watching the sun, the shadows and the other campers - particularly the youngsters racing off to the toilet in their pyjamas!
January 14th, 2017  
A wonderful peaceful setting fav
January 14th, 2017  
So nice that you have found such a special place so close to home. I imagine you'll go here often. A lovely restful image.
January 14th, 2017  
Looks such a lovely spot - where is this Maggie?
January 14th, 2017  
@barb_b Its a couple of km out of Waimate - thats Waimate South, Barb. The town itself is nothing spectacular but the Park here definitely is the Jewel in their Crown!
January 14th, 2017  
@dide It was very cheap too - $13/night per person which included all the facilities!
January 14th, 2017  
Nice mood and atmosphere! I can definitely picture myself there.
January 14th, 2017  
@congaree Its not at all tropical John but some great tree specimens!
January 14th, 2017  
You have captured some great images from a not to well known place in NZ. It looks like it has been quite an idyllic spot to spend a few days. Thanks for sharing.
January 14th, 2017  
@maggiemae I know it - must admit we've never stopped and explored it though. The park looks stunning!
January 14th, 2017  
@kiwinanna There are other more well known camping places in this area but this must be the most special!
January 14th, 2017  
What a beautiful shot, stunning trees and sky.
January 14th, 2017  
What a zen place.
January 14th, 2017  
Wonderful how the trees seem to dwarf the figure on the bench.
January 14th, 2017  
Looks such a beautiful place Maggie
January 14th, 2017  
Such a lovely quiet spot! Nicely captured!
January 14th, 2017  
Wow, what a fabulous spot to sit and while away some time!
January 14th, 2017  
What a lovely spot to sit and think...
January 14th, 2017  
Missed your shot here last night, got distracted! John is enjoying the lovely trees from that perfectly placed seat. He is a very obliging model always! I expect if you asked him to run up a hill he wouldn't be too keen! I bet the woody trees is smell is beautiful!
January 14th, 2017  
@happypat You are right about the pine smell as you walk through the trees, Pat! I posted this a lot later than usual as I had guests that didn't leave till late in the morning!
January 14th, 2017  
A lovely location for a bench in a park. Such a beautiful, relaxing, scene. Bet he's enjoying the tranquility
January 14th, 2017  
@aglennc It is tranquil except when you are sitting next to the large ride-on mower roaring away!
January 14th, 2017  
@maggiemae Isn't that the truth! I know the feeling. But you didn't show the mower, so I'm assuming the tranquility here.
January 14th, 2017  
@aglennc You might have said something important, Anita - the feeling of a photo!
January 15th, 2017  
Lovely photo I love the quiet contemplation it portrays
January 16th, 2017  
This shot has a lovely meditative feel to it. Looks like a lovely place to sit and contemplate.
January 16th, 2017  
@adayinmallacoota No music, no talking, just the whisper of the wind in the trees, Belinda!
January 16th, 2017  
Beautiful shot
