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!

Very soothing pastel colors! Cool shot!
nikolais
the dark and low clouds and the setting sun make the capture tense and dramatic. very nice low pov
stuart83
Awesome capture, i think if you were to rotate it, the tree would look weird, the cloud formations with the setting sun under them makes for a beautiful silhoueted landscape Stuart

beautiful picture, love the clowds & glowing light at the horizon with the contrast of the dark foreground. A titled horizon doesnt feel disturbing here IMHO (cant see the point anyway grin) have a great day
Saurav
Great composition, nothing wrong with tilted horizions. What makes this different to other tree/ meadow images is the sky in the background.
Zacko
I agree with Saurav, and that sky looks perfect. Such a stunning composition Kai. Perfect in every single and simple way. Well done little guy. #:o)
