Spring on the trail, a photo from Manawatu, North Island

Photographer's Note

Hi all.
Another from the TE Araroa walking trail.
As you can see we are flush with spring here but not all the trees are greening up just yet. This shot was taken about 500m from my previous Te Araroa post. For more detail on the trail see my previous post. Bonus in WS
Have a good weekend, Paul.

Do us a favour Paul and send that weather more North, its teaming rain here in Auckland. Love the colour palette here, fresh and crisp capture. I like the trees showing different 'seasons'.

Enjoy the WE, off to see this fight of the century on TV now ;-), I hope Tua wins!!
Cheers
Jim

Hi Paul,
It's grey with occasional flakes of snow outside, the gloomiest part of autumn; so when I sawtree arching above. your title, I could hardly wait to open the picture. Your composition shows spring's fresh beauty well with the bright grass, the yellow green of new leaves and the light through the tree arching above.
It looks like summer will bring a leafy tunnel for the trail.
HLJ, Pat

Hello Paul,

In France the autumn hardly begins and in New Zealand it is spring !!! Pleasant rhythm of the seasons� Very beautiful photograph taken very close to the ground what makes it possible to give much of depth to this coloured and luminous alley. I like much the freshness of the image, very pleasant to look at, thank you Paul.

With all my friendships of Versailles where it rains� and with soon,

Jean-Charles

feather (51130) 2009-10-06 7:17

Spring, my favourite season and all we have to look forward to is a damp winter. Except I can come and share some of your summer!
Your low POV works really well here so that there is an archway of foliage. The spring greens are gorgeous.
Kath

Waylim (25436) 2009-10-06 10:00

Ah, as the rest of us are heading into the falls, you're just stepping into spring. Such a refreshing sight, beautiful and natural and baby green. Excellent pov looking through the canopy of trees on this green path into the beautiful blue sky. Excellent shot. tfs.

Hi Paul,
A great idea this POV from the ground to obtain this deep and elegant perspective. The trees, the sky and the clouds, with its beautiful colors, creates a nice frame to the image of the wooden vertical element, and the great light completes this splendid composition.
Excellent work, my friend.
Best regards,
Josep

skippy007 (12510) 2009-10-18 23:33

Nice landscape Paul, Well framed, you made good use of the hanging branch, colours look very natural & contrast well with the blue sky. The trees on the left look like the still caught up in winter while the others are lovely & green.

A new intro photo...your two grandsons I would believe? Superb perspective here, almost a tunnel effect created by the trees on either side. The low POV, makes me feel that I can almost smell the grass. The marker pivots the shot well. Fine work!
