    The new Algae Theme really looks great on this lens.
    Thank you so much for your continued support of Friends of the Park. This month's payout was the highest ever with $109.97 going for our Veterans Park. The Squidoo Friends of Friends of the Park have donated over $2,000 so far. Wow, you are super and very much appreciated!

    I have been wanting to see New Zealand ever since reading Teacher by Sylvia Ashton Warner. Now that I have seen your photos, I am even more interested.
  • Spook Apr 2, 2011 @ 5:18 am | delete
    I'm certain you would love it there.
  • Pastiche Mar 26, 2011 @ 2:48 pm | delete
    I had no idea there were glaciers or mountain peaks with snow atop in warm weather in New Zealand. Thanks for the tour, and the great photos. Love the basking beauties on the rocks and the dynamite glacier split (looks kind of like a giant whale breaching), Way cool.

    I'm humbly honoured that you came here and thank you.I loved it there and such scenic beauty.

    This is a beautiful lens! I am working on mine and you have helped me set a goal today.

    I toured the entire island, but didn't get to see the Tasmin Glazier - WOW! Use of digital media has made it a stunning view - brilliant! It's a lens that isn't over-burdened with detail, but arouses one's tastebuds to making every attempt to make it a personal experience! The same applies to possibly the most famous mountain in the world. Thanks to the writer for compiling and portraying a refreshing, beautiful and memorable experience to a land where the waters do differ in colour in spectacular contrast to the nature of New Zealand! This is definitely a "favourite" for me!

    Mount Cook looks so beautiful, as a mountain lover this is a must-see for me. Well, now I have seen it in this fascinating photo tour and that will keep me going until I am lucky enough to visit it for myself. Congratulations on being featured in the 2010 Giant Squid Showcase!
  • Tipi Dec 28, 2010 @ 11:12 pm | delete
    Wonderful, beautiful and excellent! Funny, as I looked at that seal, I thought how healthy it looked and then I read that you noticed it too, cool! Congratulations on being on the 2010 Giant Squid Showcase Best of List! That had to bring a smile! {{HUGS}}

    I won a trip through work eons ago that included a helicopter tour of the glaciers around Whistler in Canada. It was the closest thing to living art I've ever seen. The colors and the swirls and shapes and the sheer size of the area were both beautiful and shocking. Sounds as if glaciers the world round have similar impacts. Your pictures of Mount Cook and the Tasman glacier are amazing! What a great trip!
  • Michey Dec 1, 2010 @ 2:56 pm | delete
    New Zealand is beautiful, but your picture Spook, are just spectacular.

    It sounds like New Zealand was a wonderful experience for you. I spent 9 months in Auckland in 1987/88 but never got to South Island. It's an amazing country.
  • dc64 Nov 26, 2010 @ 10:29 am | delete
    If heaven is on Earth, it must be in New Zealand. I can't even begin to imagine what it must have felt like being surrounded by such beauty. I so loved this virtual tour.
    PS, Thanks for angel blessings earlier this month.

Thank you for your part in making this happen! Friends of the Park is so appreciative of all our Squidoo friends. Thank you. Thank you.

    Spook...This great lens makes me kick myself for not extending on to NZ while we were "down under" several years ago. You have a neat way of incorporating the pictures into your lens that adds significantly more enjoyment for your readers.

    Please, keep doing lenses on New Zealand, they're really agreeable to read and I love to discover this country!
    Good luck for SSA, Spook!
