This weeks travel theme over at Where’s My Backpack is very intriguing…entitled The Four Elements, we have to come up with photographs representing Earth, Air, Fire and Water. This challenge has taken me on a trip through old photographs and old memories.
EARTH
Moreton Bay Fig Tree – Sydney Botanical Gardens
Tree growing through the rocks – Rabbit Island, Cambodia
AIR
Tui resting on its favourite flax plant – Taupo, New Zealand
Hang-gliders – Queenstown, New Zealand
WATER
Up to 220,000 litres of water rushes through the Huka Falls every second – Taupo, New Zealand
The awesome power of Huka Falls as seen from our helicopter tour – Taupo, New Zealand
FIREFire-twirlers on the beach – Ko Samet, Thailand
Huge burst of flames caused by the boys throwing their fire sticks into the air – Ko Samet, Thailand.
All beautiful and the Tui one a stunner.
Thankyou Mrs Carmichael! I have about 60 photo attempts for the picture of the tui, they are notoriously shy birds.
Even better then.
Great images!
Thankyou!
These are all so great! I’m so impressed by the tui shot. I really tried…many shots, but no one was even nearly as good as yours!
Thanks! Trust me, this took weeks! I managed to snap this guy outside my boyfriends mums house near Lake Taupo.
You understand how envious I am? And Lake Taupo – I have such fond memories of that lake and its surroundings. Lucjy you!
It is absolutely stunning isn’t it! I can’t wait to go back there! Thank you for your kind comments 🙂
I’m dreaming of going back some day too – but that is a very long journey.
