The SS Earnslaw on Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown, New Zealand. The paraglider got a bit caught up in the smoke !! A closer view of Earnslaw and a short description of her can be viewed at my Lady Of The Lake
Now this is what I cal 'In the right place at the right time' Lyndy....you are getting do good at that...do you hope! or look out for these great shots....Go get a job on a newspaper as their photographer..and you will have 'exclusives' every time?
Not until the creation and maintenance of decent conditions of life for all men are recognized and accepted as a common obligation of all men . . . shall we . . . be able to speak of mankind as civilized.

A timely and fascinating shot...so much to look at, from the paraglider to the smoke, to the great view and mix of colors...super job and thanks for sharing.:Pat.
The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because generally they are the same people.

Well, you won't see this very often...a real live steamer. Did you get to ride on it? Love that billowing smoke. The glider may look like he's in the smoke but he is well off the outside of it from what I can see. Very interesting and eye catching shot.

Nice shot of some gorgeous water scenery! This looks like a place I would really like to visit. The steam boat provides some extra interesting subject.
