Agriculture is the dominant land use in Clinton County, which is home to 75,000+ people, spread across 574 square miles (1,487 sq.. kilometers.) Most of the land is flat to gently rolling. A system of open public drains keeps fields from flooding during heavy rains. There are 625 such drains, totaling 1,100 miles long, (1,500 km.) The job of Drain Commissioner is a high profile position, and has been broadened to encompass watershed protection.

Daily Tip: Stamp your Visible layers. Instead of flatten all layers in order to edit everything on a new one, you may consider to Merge Visible Layers by holding down the Ctrl, Alt, Shift and the letter E simultaneously to create a new layer on top of the stack. Another method to do the same, but with a bunch of extra options is via menu Image > Apply Image.

I caught this one about three weeks ago just after a rain storm....in the fog....which you can barely see in the top of the frame.
This is, without question, the time to be on Monte Sano. The leaves, the log, the mossy rocks......all combined to make this a perfect, intimate little setting.

This is the view from one of the pedestrian bridges of the Pipiwai Trail, an easy trail that runs from near sea level to the Waimoku Falls, through Haleakala National Park near Hana on Maui.

Merry Christmas everyone :)
A little cascade off the side of hte Pinchgut track in North Canterbury. Walked up to a backcountry hut for Christmas eve with a couple of friends and got to spend a very relacxing Christmas morning walking back through some gorgeous manuka forest, tumbling brooks and all that stunning foresty goodness. This is a shot of a short little cascade we walked past - the main falls is probably about 10' ish.. would have required some extreme gardening, so I've gone wide :)
Hope everyone's had a lovely holiday, looking forward to a fantastic 2017!
Wild colours , cascading away
Twirling , swirling on the waves they play
Racing fast, floating slow
Swimming the stream, as they flow
Between the shores, where they shine
In natures cup, a beautiful wine
That eyes watch as they play
On the waves cascading away
This is probably one of my favorites of the day, if not my favorite.
photographer is my friend jeff, model and editing is me.

Was looking through some of my old photos and found this shot that I never got to post and will do so now because I have been pretty busy with my examination. I told myself that I would try to remain as active as I could on Flickr and on my photography in order to continue expanding my knowledge and vision of photography.
