This is the Yvalda, which was apparently formerly owned by the British Navy and used by Winston Churchill during WW2 as his private yacht. I was unable to find any information as to why it ended up here... nowadays it is used for private charters. This is the last image I will upload from Queenstown; tomorrow we head inland to alpine desert country and Lake Tekapo.

More images and prints available in my Deviant art and Redbubble galleries.

You do not need a knife to draw blood a pencil and paper work just as well. RvdB (Warhead)

A rather nice capture and scene. I like the vertical format and layers in the shot. A closer look reveals the clouds clinging to the distant mountains. Nice colours and clarity. A good job.

In order to discover who you are, first learn who everybody else is; you're what's left.

Interesting layers in this image, beach, sea, trees, hills and sky. The boats (and yacht) add an interesting detail to the setting.
