Looking out from the car park. That greets first time visitors on their way into Queenstown. The Kawarau river, Lake Wakatipu's only outlet seen winding its way along towards the Gibbston wine area. You can just make out Queenstown Airport just before the lake, and get an idea of how spectacular the views are from the plane on the way in.
I took this picture while researching a Financial Times article found at www.ft.com/cms/s/0/075f0478-dddc-11de-b8e2-00144feabdc0.html and an audio slideshow found at www.ft.com/cms/s/0/e844abb4-dddc-11de-b8e2-00144feabdc0.html

The Merri Creek trail near Brunswick, north of Melbourne. It's much greener than it has been for some time owing to the above average rainfall we've received. Merri Creek eventually flows into the yarra river. You wouldn't swim in it but there are fish and lots of water birds hanging around.
No pain no gain...
Plenty of gain at the final downhill section, though. Plus the promise of cold beer at the pub.
The biggest one, though the start section was probably comparable. Good to get a long view like this before ascending - a couple of false summits on the way up.
Went for a ride from Eltham N. to Diamond Creek via the bike path. One problem, the bridge at Eltham N. park was down. The detour up Wattle Tree road was an unexpected hill climb. Rode into DC, went and re-photographed my old PS. Last did this in 2008 and boy had it changed. A lot more buildings but less open space.
