Adventures in the South Island with a Panasonic GM1

Ahhh yes, a slice of home. Worked in Queenstown and Wanaka for quite awhile. Funny walking around in a tee shirt when it's -6 degrees. Beautiful places they are and well done Tom.

Danny.
I thought is was supposed to be... "...A slice of Heaven..." :D:ROFLMAO::cool:

All this with a Tiny GM1 16mp 4/3 sensor camera 9 years ago - has to be a travel camera of some merit
 
Fine shots there Tom. Excellent stuff!
 
I don't really want to overdo this but maybe it will encourage some more traffic?

I was trying to make it a wide selection and not just a tourist click-about.

NZ is an excellent place with a great vibe from the locals - it is a place where I could very easily live.
The locals are terrible Tom. I know one of them personally!
