Tairua, Coromandel Peninsular (37°00′23″S 175°50′56″E)
This image was shot from the peak of Mount Paku.
The town of Tairua is on the east coast of the Coromandel Peninsula in the North Island of New Zealand. It lies at the mouth of the Tairua River on its north bank and on the small Paku Peninsula. The population was 1,227 in the 2013 Census, a decrease of 42 from 2006. Tairua is a Māori name which translates literally as tai: tides, rua: two.
Directly opposite Tairua on the south bank of the river's estuary is the smaller settlement of Pauanui. The two settlements are 30 kilometres east of Thames although the town has closer connections with the sea side resort town Whangamata. Several islands lie off the mouth of the river, notably Slipper Island to the southeast and the Alderman Islands 20 kilometres to the east. Mount Paku is an extinct volcano that lies by Tairua Harbour. It was thought to have formed the Alderman Islands.

The Minden Whitewater Preserve is a 100 acre park with trails adjacent to a some of Canada's best whitewater rapids for park'n play kayaking and canoeing. A visit at any time of the year will be inspirational. You can walk along the Minden White Water Rapids and marvel at the beauty of the rushing water. At times you might see paddlers, or fisherpersons, or photographers, etc. also appreciating what the rapids provide to one's soul. On one side of the Minden White Water Rapids is the Minden Wild Water Preserve and on the other side is Harrington Park. This is a location that is worth visiting during any season.
When hand-held capture this image in the late afternoon (6:30pm) in October, it was in a low light situation. However, to make the flowing stream water silky, the exposure time was set to 1 sec as I also want to keep the low ISO and my lenses sweet spot aperture.
Maligne Lake Boat House was originally built by Donald “Curly” Philips, the historic boathouse at Maligne Lake houses canoes, kayaks and rowboats. Come experience a class family-friendly summer activity in the Canadian Rockies.
Maligne Lake is the largest natural lake in the Canadian Rockies. Ringed by snow-and-ice-capped mountains, the
22 km long lake stretches past serene Spirit Island right to the melt-water channels of Coronet Glacier. An open forest of lodgepole pine and spruce, home of moose, Harlequin Ducks, and many other types of wildlife surround visitors at the north end of the lake. Hiking and, in winter, cross-country skiing trails abound making this a popular retreat at all times of the year.
Maligne Lake was originally known as "Chaba Imne" (Beaver Lake) by the Indigenous people who lived in Jasper. In 1907 Mary Schaeffer, a wealthy Quaker from Philadelphia, learned of the mysterious lake. Following a map obtained from Samson Beaver, Mary explored the valley and lake and later wrote about her adventures, making the area a popular tourist attraction in years to follow.

The cloudy and shady day always provide diffused lighting condition with less contrast specially after the rain. The foliage of late autumn in Hokkaido gave the leaves different colours at the same time from green to red. I personally like the shape of the leaf in Hokkaido like various broad leaf trees and conifers are mixed together, such as maple (kaede), Japanese rowan (nanakamado), black locust (niseakashia), Ezo spruce (Ezo matsu, and Sakhalin fir (todo matsu). Here is just the beginning of Hokkaido autumn foliage.
