Craig & Stephanie just returned from one of their many travel vacations, this time to heaven on earth... aka New Zealand. I've always had it in the back of my mind to go there someday, and that thought has been reinforced not just by the beautiful settings on screen in the Lord of the Rings, but now by Stephanie's stunning photo at NZ's Reflection Island. I mean, just look at this (and click for a larger, perfect, desktop-sized version) ...
 No, it's not a postcard, but it should be. Craig says... "This photo was taken at a place called 'reflection island' on Lake Matheson in a town called Fox Glacier (South Island NZ). We spent the night in this area and watched the sunset and got many shots of the sunrise as well. This shot was taken about an hour after sunrise and you can very clearly see the highest mountain peak in NZ, Mt. Cook,or more appropriately named "Aoraki" by the Maori, meaning 'Cloud Piercer'. What a gorgeous place to sit and watch the clouds and reflection...the walk around the lake was amazing as well. Lots of different scenery in a small area. The island is simply stunning!"I am one jealous guy. They'll soon be updating their travel website with more pictures from the trip, and I can't wait to see 'em.  |
