Thinking about New Zealand

One of the places I've been that I love best on earth is New Zealand. I was just looking at pictures I took there and this is one of my favorite ones.
Lighthouse at Bluff, New Zealand
What I like most about this picture is that I took it with a Canon Elph circa 2003 -the Powershot S400 to be precise- which I briefly mentioned here. It was a very cold and brisk day on the southermost tip of the South island and the boat in the background just happened to be crossing as I was taking the picture. I miss how clean the air is there, the color of the water, the completely different landscapes for every hour driven. I'll post other pictures from there whenever I feel nostalgic for it, so better brace yourselves.

    Amazing! I've never been sure I could keep my sanity through that kind of plane trip to visit, but it looks amazing!

    It looks so peaceful; being by water is so calming to me.
