I was born in Zimbabwe on 03/06/88. My family, consisting of parents, older brother and sister, migrated to South Africa when I was six months old. We moved back to Zimbabwe six years later, to help my grandparents on their farm - a career change for my father.
After a measly eighteen months we upped sticks and went farming on our own. This led us to Kwekwe, in the heart of Zimbabwe, to farm tobacco! Borrowdale farm which is part of the "Midlands Black Rhino Conservancy" is where we settled . This was the most incredible experience, living with such an abundance of wild life ........... of which we became a part of during the school holidays! Due to the "land redistribution policy" we had no option but to move on.
10th November, 2001 saw us arrive in New Zealand with our former lives packed into a suitcase each, ready to start our new lives. Our first three years were spent on the South Island and I nearly froze!!!!!!! A great employment opportunity for my father had us move up to the North Island. I now live on a farm just outside Matamata aka "Hobbiton" (defrosting).
Yep that should sum it up ha!

Hey great shot!! I take pics from the car window too, trick is not to have foreground objects to blur the image I have found. That red rock is exactly the same colour as the rich red dirt on my uncles' wheat farm just 'a few beers' down the road from a little Aussie town called Moombooldool. (no snow though!!) LOL, you bring back so many memories of childhood sun baked holidays, thanks my friend!

Hee Hee - well you could always aim for the rocks to stop... Wonderful timing for your shot - the warm morning light is beautiful and really shows off the rocks. Shooting the snow is def an art as is shooting the beach - I'll have the beach okay?
