Nz

leanan`si:--- Just saw your thread, A little bit of NZ. My sister and her husband moved there last June after buying a "farm" (she has always dreamed of being self sufficient, even though she's a midwife). They send photo's now and again, so here's a few. There "shack" is on the right 1/2 way up the first pic (sorry about the quality, she's not very good with a camera...lol)....The third one looks very much like the same place as one of yours, and I'm sure I've seen that foot bridge before.....

You are quite welcome Patricia, as is anyone else, have you seen the other thread I mentioned by leanan`si? I've had these a while, never got round to fiddling with them, so I recon it's about time...John

Love the first one, not sure about the sunset (or rise,not sure which) I can't make my mind up about Lucis art, it works really well on some images and just wiered on others.(no offence Patricia)....John

Not sure what this is called, it started off as water colour layer and then a chalk layer blended together but I think I got a little carried away.....John (by the way I like this AKVIS filter)

Thanks for the comment Patricia, and I agree with you, the river is by far my favourite. I'm sorry I can't find the ahb's download but with a little luck you will get them by e-mail I've just sent you....(let my know if it's worked) John

Hi there Britsdad :)

Sorry I've been a little distracted and not responded. Where in NZ is your sister? and I hope living here is all she wished for

I love your rendition at post #14
