Adventures in the South Island with a Panasonic GM1

[PentUp]

Ahhh yes, a slice of home. Worked in Queenstown and Wanaka for quite awhile. Funny walking around in a tee shirt when it's -6 degrees. Beautiful places they are and well done Tom.

Danny.

I thought is was supposed to be... "...A slice of Heaven..."

All this with a Tiny GM1 16mp 4/3 sensor camera 9 years ago - has to be a travel camera of some merit

Fine shots there Tom. Excellent stuff!

I don't really want to overdo this but maybe it will encourage some more traffic?

I was trying to make it a wide selection and not just a tourist click-about.

NZ is an excellent place with a great vibe from the locals - it is a place where I could very easily live.

The locals are terrible Tom. I know one of them personally!
