I liked the contrasting colours of the stark hills and the jewel-like water. The early autumn shades of the trees were a bonus. Lake Aviemore, New Zealand. Panasonic DMC-FZ7. Thank you for viewing :)

Yes, the contrast between the barren hills and the blue water is very striking. Wonderful shot, Lyn.

Why do you have to "put your two cents in"... but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?

If the hills weren't that barren, it could be paradise Lyn! The colour of the water is amazing. Good work!

Excellent post Lyn. I believe Sabine had a post today that the color of the water was very similar to this. This really looks good with the contrasting rocks. Such a peaceful scene. I can remember as a kid when the mining was done and they left what we called a strip pit. The water was this color. Thanks for the memory.

Those are very bleak hills, Lyn. Not something I would associate with New Zealand. You are right about the contrast and the beautiful colour of the water.

I love the color of the water and the sparse vegetation in green and yellow. Where else but NZ would one find such beauty?

The color of the water and trees on the right make this photo for me. Nice contrasts.
