Fall Images

Images from Autumn, a quiet period for me but the colors are just great.  After a dismal summer weather wise there is the promise of a more regular winter in the air. A road trip south with Carl was fun and after visiting a small jewel, that is lake Ohau, we went onto do a quick hike in the Aspiring national  park with my son Aleksander and his mate Elliot. Apart from that the last 6 weeks have only seen another Twins visit with Curtis and an unusual snow free trip to Angelus.
