Morning All,

as can be seen from Mike's shot at the Otaki River, it is another glorius day on the 'sunshine coast,' (Lower North Island, West Coast, N.Z.). My 6th straight morning in a row. More to the point, what a Christmas present for all who make the effort to get out of bed!

My long time observing buddy, Noel Munford, and I drove out to a rural road about 25 km from my home to pop a few trees into the foreground. Noel is a professional photographer in the daytime so his Nikon DSLR is almost light years ahead of the old Canon 10D I'm using, and his images are just stunning. But I am happy with my pics. They show it the way I saw it.

Photo details: Canon 10D, 35mm, f/4.5, ISO 800, 30 seconds.
All were taken at Opiki on the Manawatu Plains, Tararua Ranges in the back-foreground.

Wishing everyone a merry Christmas.
