Wings in the wind by maggiemae

Wings in the wind

In the same Camp but drove 15km to Wanaka to get supplies and also the ‘data hunt’ ! John actually walked with me over the Parks to get the 30mb, 200mb, 300mb, given in certain parts of the town. One situation, viewing the lake, the wind created white-caps and the ‘surf sails’ that were zooming past us, being parked on the lakefront! (note the commas that made the sentence sense - hopefully?)

Three good things:
1. There was obviously a school here to give young boys experience - started by a yoga class (and I didn’t see any young one not join in), followed by these tiny plastic kayaks that seemed to be bobbing about with no danger. Who feeds these boys??
2. Not me!
3. After a very noisy night of gale force winds and driving rain, blue sky was what I saw when I lifted my blind this morning!

I agree, the commas make sense ;-)
Nice picture btw.

@philcameron59 It was choppy - the wind was strong but not cold.

Glad to hear you survived the gale forces especially since you got this beautiful photo. Wonderful detail on the windsurfer and beautiful light across the water

@grammyn We were surrounded by high trees so a bit nervous a branch would come down on us but it didn't! Elsewhere a motorhome tipped over in the wind as did a parked caravan!

He looks as though he is walking in water, I can't see his feet! Lovely pop of lime green in the water there. Struggling with charging my iPad tonight, my cable has become bent & im waiting for a new one, it only charges when it feels like it!

Wow! That is some strong winds. I'll bet that's how you got the hole in your caravan. A branch going through the top

You found some lovely light in this photo. Sounds like typical NZ weather ;)

I like how the boat itself is hidden -- wonderful image!

Nicely captured action shot. Brilliant light reflected off the water.

A cool action shot Maggiemae glad you folk survived the winds
January 25th, 2017  
Cool capture. I am glad you made it through the windy night. I like how the sail looks like the wing of a butterfly.

I like the light reflecting on the water.

Beautiful background & such a clear shot. Love the little whit splashes of the waves.

This photo just has a lot of "life" in it....if that makes sense.
January 26th, 2017  
Wonderful shot. Seems he is floating on his feet as the surfboard does not show.
January 26th, 2017  
I guess to windsurf properly wind is a requirement! The scenery looks quite wonderful.
January 26th, 2017  
Beautiful
January 26th, 2017  
Not the weather for the feint hearted sailboarder I think.
January 26th, 2017  
What a beautiful capture...love the colors and lighting
January 26th, 2017  
This looks like a fabulous place to windsurf. Love the blues of the water and hills behind.
January 26th, 2017  
The whole shot seems quite carefree. Ahhhhhh!

@olivetreeann He's out there in the water and skimming around having a ball. We do not want to be out there - great to be just the photo taker!

@maggiemae This is true. If I tried to do something like this it would be a recipe for disaster! I'll stand by you and take pictures.
