The port of Lyttleton and Diamond Harbour (near Christchurch, NZ)taken from the crater rim of an extinct volcano at 1500'. Quite a climb! BUT I didn't - there is a very comfortable (though nerve- wracking) Gondola ride to the summit. . . Panasonic DMC-FZ7. Thanks for looking,any comments etc appreciated and welcome :)

I'm still petitioning Santa for that wide angle. I guess I'll have to start on him for this year, huh? Great job, here, Eve.

Quite a view, Eve! There's so much to see. This is almost like an aerial view. I see lots of oil tanks perhaps and shipping docks. Did you try a wide angle lens on this shot?
