[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Lake Paringa is a small lake 30 kilometres north of Haast on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island. It is set in rugged but picturesque terrain close to State Highway 6, six kilometres inland from the coast of the Tasman Sea.

Until the mid 1950s Paringa was almost the end of the road south along the West Coast.

By the Paringa River there is a tablet marking the point at which Thomas Brunner turned back to the north when exploring the West Coast. He had injured his foot and was forced to rest for healing.

An informative notice board at the Lake Paringa picnic ground comments on trees, bird life, bats and the nature of the country.

The lake is drained at its northern end by a small stream which joins the Paringa River. The Paringa River flows into the Tasman Sea eight kilometres north of the lake.

Hello Pam,
You offer us a very smart composition. The soft tones are a pleasure to see. The shapes of mountains and trees are nice. Reflection and the little moon are good bonus ;-)
Bravo my talented friend and thanks for sharing this superb landscape,
Christian

Hi Pam, fascinatin sunset with splendid light and colors, lovely reflections, great composition, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hi Pam, everytime I visit your gallery your work just gets bettter and better. Your wildlife shots have always set the standard and now I see you are into landscape which is equally impressive. I hope I get see NZ next year and known these places for myself. Excellent work.

Thumbnail doesn't do this beautiful picture any just, what a treat to crack this one open to the view view that reveals gorgeous beauty a very well balanced exposure IMHO. Well done Pam. :)
