This is really just one of the many random streams pouring off the mountains along the John Wayne Trail. I was kind of limited in what I could do with it because I had forgotten to throw a tripod in my backpack, but I think the resulting low-to-the-ground composition from having to just put the camera on the ground worked well.
I've been kind of MIA lately, courtesy of a never-ending move... I have one more "old" picture to upload, and then hopefully soon I'll get to finishing processing the pictures from vacation (which have now been sitting on my hard drive for a month!).
On the morning of my second day trip to North Island, NZ, I headed to Kitekite Falls, which is situated on the hinges of the beautiful coastal town of Piha, an hour's drive east of Auckland. I say beautiful because Piha is the only town in New Zealand where it slowly gets into view as you descend from over the mountains, and the Tasman Sea behind it grows majestic.
Kitekite falls is not on Google maps, to get to the carpark (which is the end of Glenesk Road), plug this coordinate into your navigation system: -36.952303,174.48404
All my shots of the magnificent 5 tier falls turned out to be duds - water spray, high position of the sun etc. So instead of that, I present to you - the charming Kitekite stream.
Used Lee 105mm polarizer and GNDs for this shot.

We visited the two neighbouring villages of Lao Chai and Ta Van in the Muong Hoa Valley. The rice terraces gently rise up the sides of the hills and mountains surrounding the villages.
Lao Chai is the home of the Black Hmong whilst Ta Van is the home of the Dzai. These are two of the many minority peoples in north Vietnam.
Some fun with filters on this one. A Watercolour filter has been applied along with various post production effects. The original shot was taken with a slower shutter speed to blur the cascading water.
The stream known as Stocksfield Burn in Northumberland, here flowing northwards to the river Tyne in late October 2013.
This is just a small stream that feeds into the Mekujiri River. However, the community has landscaped it into an ornamental garden stream. Minamikurihara, Zama, Japan

Even though this region only gets a couple millimeters of rain per year, you can still see where the water is concentrating and giving life to a beautiful flora (and fauna!).
