Sailing

Posted by jamesy (christchurch, New Zealand) on 23 October 2008 in Landscape & Rural.

This is Lake Rua A small little known lake near the Chch airport. They hold a sailing course out here which my oldest son Matt was doing

I really enjoy taking photos and would appreciate your feedback so that I can learn as I go. I particularly enjoy photographing birds animals and landscapes

The boats look so tiny compared with the trees. I also dont know this lake - will have to investigate next time I am home. Interesting capture Deb.

@kylie: Its out by the airport in old shingle pits there are actually 2 lakes side by side one for sailing and the other for jet skis

It looks like a scene from a movie - something about summer and kids and sailing. I love the way this image sends the imagination off like that.
