Made It!

Watching the white water rafting at Okera Falls from the safety of the lookout was amazing to see.

I can't believe how they managed to stay afloat. Although while we were watching there was one raft which upturned, but they all survived to tell the tale.

[Arthur Loosley]

Wow Babs! What an experience, but I don't think I'll be trying that any time soon.

[Lee-Ann]

Stunning action shot. I went white water rafting in Austria a few decades ago....it was an unbelievable experience.

[julia]

I have been on this river .. but not in a rubber raft but a very fast jet boat.. we raced up the river to these falls and then spun around ... such fun... nice shot..

[Sally Ings]

Adrenaline pumping stuff! I went white river rafting many years ago and loved it. Always wanted to go again but the opportunity hasn't presented itself.

[Joyce]

'Safety of the lookout' sounds the best place to be! What great shots. Fav

[Martina]

Great!

[gayelene]

Fantastic capture fav

[Peter]

Wow beautiful action images in lovely detail and colour Babs, Not tempted to have a go yourself then?, I did a long one with my GoPro camera fixed to my safety helmet looked far more scary on playback :)

[Loopy-Lou]

Fabulius action captures my daughter Becka would probably love to do this.

[ShirleyB]

Brilliant action shots. I think your vantage point would be as near to the action as I would want to be. Love all the colours and the energy in the water.

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Super actions shots

[Chris K]

great action shots but I would prefer to join you at the lookout

[maree_sanderson]

i like 'safety of the look out ' also...great action shots

[Debbie]

That looks amazing. I d love to give it a try

[sally agnew]

A very hairy ride, glad they remained upright :)

[Nova]

Wow, that would be one exciting ride. But like you I'd rather be viewing it from above with a camera. :)

[Merrelyn]

I'm with you Babs, I watched from the lookout when my husband went white water rafting at the Kaituna Cascades.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Wow, it does looking amazing to see. Great collage, Babs. I'd be afraid to do something like that. I would join you at the lookout, too.

[john39]

A real buzz!

[gloria jones]

Great action shots

[Margaret Obey]

What a fabulous action capture!

[Margaret Brown]

I bet that was an adrenaline rush, great action capture!

[Eve Pulsater]

Next time, you need to be inside the raft taking pictures looking out! :o)

[Hazel]

Fabulously dramatic shots - I would also have been in the safety of the lookout!

[Sebastian Gritt]

Great action sequence, Babs. I bet your heart was in your mouth!

[Yeshanghai]

Unbelievable action collage

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

I think I would keep my feet on solid ground thanks, great captures.

[Ali P]

Great action shots!

[KWind]

Wow... that looks fun but scary!

[Dianne]

Great action here! I think I'd be with you taking photos!

[bkb in the city]

Nice shots. Looks like fun

[Paula W]

Ooh that looks such fun, really exhilarating, I'd love to try that. Nice action shot Babs (hope the clear out is going well :)))

[Christina Helliwell]

Great shots. Looks amazing and so exciting. Very colourful too.

[Marnie]

Oh no, they can have that all to themselves. I just watch! Great pair of shots Babs.

[Taffy]

Great to have caught the two shots so well!!

[Annie D]

Ahhh would love to do this

[Babs]

@wordpixman Me neither Arthur. Much better to watch from the safety of the look out.

[Babs]

@leestevo You are braver than I am Lee-Ann

[Babs]

@julzmaioro Must have been quite an experience Julia.

[Babs]

@salza Not sure I'd be brave enough to try this. Lovely to watch though.

[Babs]

@thistle I'm with you Joyce. Much safer just to watch. Thanks for the fav.

[Babs]

@pcoulson Not tempted at all Peter. My dare devil days are over.

[Babs]

@cherrymartina @onlyme111 @bizziebeeme @shirleybankfarm @ziggy77 @cruiser @maree_sanderson @deborah63 @hermann @novab @merrelyn @mittens @john39 @seattlite @ceilidh @craftymeg @quietpurplehaze @365projectorgsebgritt @yeshanghai @ladymagpie @alinz @kwind @dide @bkbinthecity @chrysanthemum @taffy @annied Thanks everyone. I was more than happy just to watch. My dare devil days are long gone. There were quite a few participants to watch in the time that we were there and only one capsized, so pretty good going.

[Babs]

@creampuff You won't get me in the raft looking out or anywhere I'm afraid. I will stay on dry land.

[Babs]

@paulaw You are brave Paula. The clear out is going well. We have had a few days off though as we have been out for the last few days. I am just about to start on the kitchen cupboards tomorrow. When we have finished the clear out, painting is next on the list.

[Babs]

@golftragic I'm with you Marnie.

[Gena Pegg]

How fun that looks....I would consider doing it, but not sure. Have to be prepared to get wet for sure. Lovely view point.

[Marnie]

@onewing There's a saying about pilots that can be adapted to this situation Babs. There are old fools and there are bold fools, but there are no old bold fools.

[Lee]

Nicely captured. All that water and force on them in the first shot makes it look like they're going under.

[Pam Knowler]

Great action shots! Something else I enjoyed watching but would not want to do! Fav!

[Babs]

@pamknowler ha ha, same here. I can't jump in a swimming pool without holding my nose. Thanks for the fav.

[Pam]

Nice capture on those!
