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!

May not be the greatest, but still a great capture, nice colour to the rocks & water, looks like a nice place to ponder what was & what is to be. Hope you & your family have a great christmas & new year Stuart

not amazing because of the haze, but that is nature doing that. Nice compo and subject, just need to head back to that spot some other day when there is a nice blue sky and fluffy clouds or a dramatic sunset/rise and you will have a very cool pic ;) Have a great christmas and a happy new year and all! see ya in 2007 :)

I like it, great POV. The soft water and sharp rocks are like yin and yang, opposites in balance. Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year! =)

I don't agree with inshaala on this. The subject is not the sky, but the water so let's try to focus on that. I think you did a wonderful job on this one! May you and yours also experience God's glory and peace during this festive season, Kai and may 2007 be a prosperous and successful one for you :0))

This is an excellent way to capture a scene like this, with the wide angel, the lens stopped down and the just long enough exposure to get the nice flow of the water... Just like the pro's ;o))
