I also love the picture of the guy in the boat, out in the middle of the bluest lake I have seen! Wow, through this shoot out and bloggers involved from all over the world, I know that it is a shame that I am stuck in just one corner of the globe, cuz there are some fantastic places out there to be seen, and I would love to be on the plane right now seeing some of them. NZ is definitely going onto my list. For now, I am more then happy though to sit back and "see" the world through all the photos that everyone has posted. A fantastic job. take care, and have a great weekend, DebbyThe Pink Birdhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16211734667583378167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266742625763583152.post-62411634117978652912009-05-29T10:11:38.327-07:002009-05-29T10:11:38.327-07:00Being married to the water engineer you sure know ...Being married to the water engineer you sure know your water! This was just wonderful. I learned so much. I'd be the one who would want to ride the shot over jets! I love white water rafting and have doen it in many states here in the USA.

The good th...Thanks Gordon, Patty and Reggie girl,<br /><br />The good thing about being near to the International Date line is while you are still having Thursday, we are already Friday. Not much left though. I like Friday evenings, I go to bed knowing I can sleep in tomorrow.<br /><br />The dug out is a dug out. They hollow a tree trunk, and it seats 10 to 12 people. <br /><br />Many foreigners are afraid to sit in one. Glad and proud to tell you that my husband was a very brave man. LOL<br /><br />The good thing about NZ is, it is so small. It has all the goodies packed in a small container. You have do the whole thing in 2 weeks. <br /><br />Right now, we have icebergs breaking off our glacier. Imagine not having to go to the north pole or south pole to see icebergs. <br /><br />When I went to Franz Josef Glacier, there were chunks of ice blocks flowing down the streams.Ann, Chen Jie Xue 陈洁雪https://www.blogger.com/profile/04399207312968010460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266742625763583152.post-60718983047338125912009-05-28T18:07:56.605-07:002009-05-28T18:07:56.605-07:00Oh Ann!!!!!!

The guy in the boat......something about that snapshot speaks to me.<br />You've outdone yourself Ann. I say you have the best hands down before I even see the other's.<br />Thank you for showing us your world. You are a blessing darling lady.

I wish we all had geothermal plants.<br /><br />That geyser is fantastic. Too bad about the tourist wandering off.<br /><br />I don't think I have a favorite.<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing. You did a beautiful job. Makes me want to pack my bags and visit.<br /><br />BTW: We have a student from New Zealand and who is going to be teaching sailing at our sailing school this year.aurbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234712574405718245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266742625763583152.post-27935984035006676472009-05-28T05:54:27.607-07:002009-05-28T05:54:27.607-07:00What a tremendous job on this shoot-out!

Was that carved from a long tree, or is it man made? We are blessed to have you participating in the shoot-outs.Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402345726306560720noreply@blogger.com
