Cable Bay by maggiemae

Cable Bay

The name Cable Bay arose from New Zealand's first overseas cable link, to Australia, which was opened on 21 February 1876. We enjoyed our time here in spite of no cellular coverage and difficulty with the wifi. This is an island here that is called Pepin Island, privately owned and for sale at$16m!
Three Good Things:
1. Did a big washing.
2. Quite a bit of rain - good for this area which has recently had some huge fires.
3. Learnt that Canada had grounded 737 Max8 planes - my son flies them for a Company in Canada.
What beautiful folds in those hills

I notice how all the trees on one side or part of the mountainside. Looks like you had a good visit here.

The colors are quite deep and rich in this place. Nice shot. Hopefully the reason for that grounding kept your son safe and they'll be up in the air again once the issue is resolved.

OMG, what a relief those planes have been grounded before something ghastly happened to your son. Did you buy the island? $16 mill? A real snap.

Looks like an interesting place to visit. Did you put in an offer on the island?

Great capture. This grass on the slopes looks like a plush carpet.

Fabulous focus on the hills

the strangest of colours on that hill. You must be relieved re no 3.

Oh wow - this brings back some happy memories. I have spent many hours of many days wandering in and around Cable Bay or kayaking around Pepin Island. You have captured it well. Thanks for the memories.

Nice to know the island is for sale. If I get an extra $16 million I just might buy it! Good to know your son is safe, sorry he may not be working for a while. Fantastic photo of your area

Wonderful hills. Strange colours.

@onewing Decided not to, Babs! The hills are too steep for me!

@grammyn Apparently the Max8 planes in his Company are only 10% of the total so there must be other planes he can fly! Haven't heard though!

@maggiemae Thanks MM. It’s good to know it may not affect his job.
