Queen Charlotte Sound (PiP)

View from Captain Cook's lookout on Motuara Island in Queen Charlotte Sound. The Sound is part of the Marlborough Sounds in the north of the South Island, a maze of submerged river valleys where only the tops of former mountain ranges remain above sea level forming peninsulas and islands.

Blick von Captain Cook's lookout über den Queen Charlotte Sound. Dieser ist ein Teil der Marlborough Sounds, einem Gewirr abgesoffener Flusstäler im Norden der Südinsel, aus dem nur noch die Bergrücken als Halbinseln und Insel herausschauen.

Tolles Panorama, Gudrun,

besonders die Wolken sind beeindruckend!
Und das Bild ist schon in der Gruppe "Au fil de l' eau"!

Gudrun replied to volker_hmbg:

Herzlichen Dank, Volker! Diese Wolken waren der Rest vom schlechten Wetter. Am Morgen hatten wir noch eine etwas ruppige Überfahrt von der Nordinsel, wo es in Bar und Cafetreia einigen Bruch gab.

A beautiful clear view, Gudrun, and the PiP is wonderful too. Thank you for the names of the islands.

Gudrun replied to Amelia:

Thank you so much, Amelia! It had been rather windy which accounts for the clarity:-) Sadly I didn't have a good lens then, there were so many birds on the island (it's a bird sanctuary) and I couldn't get any decent photos.

I am impressed with your stitching Gudrun! Both pictures are stunning. The tree is so beautiful and sculptural.

Gudrun replied to Rosalyn Hilborne:

Thanks very much, Rosa! If you think of taking the photos with enough overlap the stithing is easy:-) The tree is more like a big shrub, it's typical seaside vegetation shaped by the wind.
