Living in a Great place like New Zealand, means every day I look out the window, drive down the road or I'm out having fun, I'm surrounding by spectacular Landscapes, that I sometimes take for Granted. In order that I can pass some of these views on to my friends, I am assembling this archive of shots, most taken with my trusty Mavica digital Cam, and some of the older ones scanned from photos from my old Canon A1 35mm.
