Memories and memory cards from New Zealand
Inspiring landscapes of New Zealand are quite literally inviting to take photographs. Stunning landscapes look like they are taken straight from the pages of a storybook.
Love that metadata
I remember that often when I had test paper in front of me I found myself recollecting the page where the subject in question was discussed, the form of the page, headline, picture and even the caption. But in no way could I recollect the content of the text and what was said in the text. My memory had captured the metadata of that page but it was not that much of a help.
Sunset with seagulls
Sunset is always unique. No two sunsets are alike. One of the most memorable sunset happened over a year ago when visiting the lovely island of Aspo in the Turku archipelago in Finland. Storm was approaching within few days. Wind was blowing and gaining strength. It made grilling outside impossible, although not without a try, and forced to enjoy supper inside the boat. And as the sun set, there were outstanding signs of oncoming weather. Sky turned to magnificent red, and dramatic clouds filled the horizon. Group of seagulls and terns filled the shore also watching and enjoying the dramatic sunset and amazing view.
Art of seeing close
See near as you would look far away. When far away, see as you would look close to you.
Several years ago when traveling in New Zealand I was sitting on a tourist boat admiring landscapes and sea views by the North Island. In the same boat there was an elderly man from New Zealand. He said that even though he lived so close to these amazing landscapes and wonders of nature he had never taken time to see these. We were as astonished by the landscapes only his journey to here had been about 45 hours and several thousand kilometers shorter.
