Our day began with various people walking their dogs on a wet rugby field. A lovely cottage stood at the side of the road and I photographed it….. not sure if its worth. But then we drove through flat fields alongside an Lake which has just been recognised as one of the most polluted lakes in NZ. No eels - ah woe is me!

Three good things:
1. Chose a caravan park high up in the hills overlooking the harbour at Akaroa. I kept taking photos and was not pleased. This one is perhaps the best….
2. Cheese and wine are one of the products of the area but we found that French people and German people are the latest product!
3. I got so hot and bothered going down to the Harbour - probably about 200 meters. Going down meant quavering knees….. going back up meant quavering heart! I survived.
I like this shot for several reasons. The main reason is that I like the color tones of the water. Lovely shot!

I like the boat on such calm water with the small wake it's leaving in its path.

And I like the visual balance of the large and small crafts going in opposite directions. Obviously, quite a bit to like here!

I must buy some new reading glasses. At first I thought that was a water skier behind the big boat. Ha! Beautiful calm water, serene and nice!

Love your description of you trip downhill! I know the feeling well! Someone is having fun here, I bet his knees are wobbling too!

@happypat It might be good exercise but who knows - one's heart might not be as strong as when you were 25 years old!

Looks like the big yacht is pulling the little boat like a water-skier! Nice one!
