"Afflictive emotions - our jealousy, anger, hatred, fear - can be put to an end. When you realize that these emotions are only temporary, that they always pass on like clouds in the sky, you also realize they can ultimately be abandoned."

I think that you see this kind of scene only at the southern tip of New Zealand and nowhere else! Fantastic Lyn!

Nice to know that my jealousy on this photo is only fleeting LE. Truly spectacular.

Splendid shot, Lyn. The upper layer of clouds looks like a ceiling holding everything in. All those coulds are fantastic and the blues of the water and mountains all make this such a wonderous scene.

Lyn, this is a wonderful landscape photo. Perfect all the way. I wonder if the weather was so clean there or this is a result of any kind of postprocess? Fantastic looking clouds, and all others in this scene.

Lyn, I partly disagree with the claim that emotions are jealousy or hatred are the passing ones.
Some negative emotions have a lasting nature ...
Unfortunately for both victims.
Otherwise seriously, your image IS MOST IMPRESSIVE,
Needless to say 10/10 in VB just now.

Wow! A dramatic and spectacular view, LynEve. The foreground rocks and trees provide an excellent sense of scale and give this photo great depth. I like the colors, and you've captured the light beautifully. Outstanding photography!

Wow. This deserves every C-score point it got. The splash of color in the land on the right sets off the image just right. Those clouds are some of the most beautiful I have seen. KEEP-PER

My thoughts mirror Mick's. I truly would love to see Lake Wanaka in person. Love the layers of water, land and sky. The two colliding cloud systems seem amazing to me!

That ribbon of puffy cloud sitting on the mountains really makes this pop. The processing has a hdr quality, but one well contained and that suits the landscape. Drama and awe in spades.
