Weekend pics of life outside of war :)

Here are some pics I took on a track I climbed on Sunday, it made a nice change from looking at the net

This is Arthurs Pass in the middle of the south Island in New Zealand, at the end of summer, in semi drought conditions.

The mountain in the middle of the bottom pic is the one we climbed, to the end of the treeline. - we ran out of time as you could easily ridge walk all the way to the snow...

Can't wait to visit it someday...

The mountains look better in the winter all covered in snow, they look somewhat naked at the moment. Nice place to visit considering its only 2 hours from home for me

Very beautiful! I live 10 minutes outside a major city and its nothing but traffic, crowds, pollution, etc. and cant wait to get away to a place like this. I need a vacation!! Thanks for sharing your photos.

I would love to visit there. It's got everything anyone could possibly want from nature. camping, hiking, skiing/snowboarding, surfing. I cant wait to get there someday either.

STUNNING !! Almost reminds me of Italy.........near the Dolomites

I was just watching Braveheart and those mountains in the second picture remind me of the beginning of the movie.

very nice pics.

Netchicken you have given me the first place I want to visit when I start traveling overseas. It looks beautiful, and I can't wait to one day witness it myself.

Breathtaking, awe-inspiring and oh so peaceful.
Looks like Heaven on Earth.:up
