    Someone is about to explain the calculations required behind calculating the lumancy of a black hole and they’re all ready to take notes and relay the information back to you in figures of one decimal place! (Maybe!)

    Love the processing here Mel – works a treat

    Its clear to see, these are the Welsh farmers from the video clip that you directed us to on youtube … only this time, the dogs are going to shape them up into a mountain climber and they’ll scale the peaks …....... am I right .. I am ….......... :))

    Wish I had have got to the south Island ,Great capture Mel.

  • Mel Brackstone replied 21 days ago

    Shame you didn’t, Craig, it’s pretty as a picture around every bend of the road….you just can’t pull up to take any shots though, cos the roads are too narrow! Not strictly true, but common enough, unfortunately! Thanks Craig. :)

  • clarkey

    clarkey 21 days ago

    Hmmm, the attraction seems to be the sharp lines of the mountains and the difference in the “colours” of them- one is quite grey, one is mid-grey and the other is white. Nicely seen and shot, Mel.

  • Mel Brackstone replied 21 days ago

    Wow, thanks clarkey! I never thought of that….hehe! The view is kinda special though…..Thanks :)

    More sheep than people in NZ. Are there more men than women? Seriously great shot, Mel.

  • Mel Brackstone replied 21 days ago

    Not sure if there are more men than women, certainly more sheep than people though. Thanks Patricia, it’s a glorious country :)

    Not sure I want to know what the people are doing, but GREAT mountains! This reminds me of photos my uncle has from his time as a deer culler in the Southern Alps in the 1950s. Those tones bring out the form of the landscape so well.

  • Mel Brackstone replied 20 days ago

    Thanks so much Des!

    Great capture! At first I thought it was taken in some part of ‘my’ Alps (where I was born).

  • Mel Brackstone replied 19 days ago

    Thanks Silvia, it is a beautiful range of mountains, and no doubt looks similar to “your” Alps….
