The S.S. Earnslaw sails on Lake Wakatipu, NZ. The largest steamship built in NZ (in1911) she is now one of the last coal fired passenger steamers in the world. Originally used to service remote high country farms around the lake carrying livestock, cargo and passengers, she now enjoys tourists enjoying her.

I love the color, the quality and the clarity you captured here. I also enjoyed the history behind the boat quite a bit. I would have liked to be able see the very tippy-top of the mast, but otherwise, very well done. Thank you ;~)

In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:10

Lovely picture. My husband and I took a little cruise on this ship when we were in New Zealand many years ago. It was a wonderful trip.

Great job. I love all the verticals on the left, willow,masts and stacks and the pilings of the dock. The tree line breaks up all the blues in the sky mountains and water. I also like the light reflections on the bow of the steamer.

My heart sinks...I walked those shores about 10 years ago and I WANT TO GO BACK!

Very nice to see this posted, thanks!
Do you also happen to have some nice shots of those lord of the ring mountains in the back? I one climbed a mountain and had an incredible view over the area. I'll never forget the place!

And I also liked the seqoya and monkey puzzle trees along the shore.
I sat on the mountains behind you and had this incredibly view on those l.o.t.r mountain in the back!
Wonderful place!

Feel very envious of the snowy mountains - have yet to make it to Wakatipu at this time of year. Fantastic shot.

What is life, if full of care, we have no time to stand and stare - and take pictures!
