Looking south by maggiemae

Looking south

From our little town of Oamaru. Mostly these mountains are hidden by either cloud or bad visibility!
But as I walked home I thought I could capture this - no tripod so I lock my camera against a power pole and probably look a fool! I don't care.

These are the Kakanui mountains and go up to 1,643 m (5,392 ft).
This is beautiful with that stormy sky yet the snow covered mountains are so clear. The leading line towards the snowy mountains is very cool and that pop of colour sets it off well. Never worry what others think of the stance you have to take to get the shot. Fav.

Lovely to see the mountains on a clear day. The sky looks quite stormy.

@kiwinanna It never bothers me Liana! 365 has made me a lot stronger now!

@pamknowler Yes we can see the sea as well as mountains on the other side, Pam! One of the nice things about living in NZ

@onewing It wasn't stormy just threatening rain, Babs - and we hardly ever get it in our special area!

Beautiful Maggie , with that sunshine , the stormy skies and the wonderful glimpse of those snow covered mountains in the distance !

@maggiemae I loved NZ when I did a tour of both islands about 10 years ago!! I would love to return - who knows - one day!!
September 14th, 2017  
@pamknowler Its still as beautiful,Pam - even better- in spite of the tourists (who know a good thing)

@beryl I expect you don't have mountains as high, Beryl - but your Welsh land is very similar!
September 14th, 2017  
What a great view, it must be good to look at when you return from your travels.
September 14th, 2017  
The mountains look wonderful, great shot...Fav
September 14th, 2017  
Wow, what a wonderful view to have on your doorstep! I am very envious. Love the layers in this.
September 14th, 2017  
What a lovely walk home! I love the contrast between the white mountains and the lush, colourful garden.
September 14th, 2017  
Yes, that's why I didn't crop further, Jo - that lovely garden on the left! @jokristina

@inthecloud5 Its cold here at the moment Christine - I remember the hot, hot temps of the desert like places we have just come from and it is different world!
September 14th, 2017  
What a fantastic capture. What a great town you live in. Not been there for many years but still remember parts of it.
September 14th, 2017  
Love the mountains.
September 14th, 2017  
Gorgeous, Maggie, the mountains look so much taller than they are!
September 14th, 2017  
Wow, that certainly is one backdrop!
September 14th, 2017  
How Beautiful! So glad you locked your camera against the power pole for this shot. Especially glad that you don't care what you look like when you're taking such a gorgeous photo. Well done
September 14th, 2017  
Awesome shot
September 14th, 2017  
great scenery and sky!
September 14th, 2017  
great sky and scene - fav
September 14th, 2017  
Wonderful capture of those glorious mountains...great light
September 14th, 2017  
Beautiful view. Love the texture of the clouds.
September 14th, 2017  
Those mountains are magnificent with all that snow. What a view you've captured. Great processing too.
September 14th, 2017  
Wow those mountains are amazing, I never even noticed them so big when I was staying with you maggie! Fave!
September 14th, 2017  
@happypat Thanks for the fave, Pat! You normally don't see them so clearly! Today I just did!
September 14th, 2017  
This is rather special Maggiemae, the sky and the mountains are quite breathtaking... shame about that car though!
September 14th, 2017  
@vignouse Yes, Richard - there was one on the other side too but I could crop that one out. I could have cloned but find its not easy with cars and pavements!
September 14th, 2017  
@maggiemae Cloning the car out would be way beyond my capabilities... and this was too nice a view to let a little car stop you capturing it,
September 14th, 2017  
You have to look carefully at the snow covered mountatins, lest they merge into the white clouds in the sky. You are obviously near some very beautiful scenery.
September 14th, 2017  
and it's set against a spectacular sky. beautiful!
September 15th, 2017  
What a beautiful place to live!
September 15th, 2017  
Beautiful, maybe some rain in those clouds! Those snow covered mountains are beautiful...so much beauty in this shot..
September 15th, 2017  
Awesome capture of the distant mountains.
September 15th, 2017  
@happysnaps I'm glad I took this photo - haven't seen it like this for ages!
September 15th, 2017  
What a lovely view. Photographers can look silly at times, but those laughing don't ever see the lovely results of their antics.
September 15th, 2017  
@dide I have never asked one who I have seen taking photos - a to what the photo has turned out like!
September 15th, 2017  
What a spectacular view, your part of the world looks stunning
September 16th, 2017
