 I don't love the edit, but I only had the IPad and phone whilst traveling, so the IPad won out.

I’m shocked to see this got the blue. I thought there were quite a few really good photos in this challenge.

We’ve been travelling to New Zealand every few years since our 20th wedding anniversary. On 3rd of June we just celebrated 35 years.

We had just left the Twizel area and were driving towards Wanaka to our next location. I was absolutely stoked to see the snow on the mountains for half the trip. I wasn’t thinking of this challenge when I shot this photo, I thought maybe I could enter it into the free study, but I had nothing else worthy, so this was it. This was taken out of a moving car.

Thanks for the kind votes, really thought Wendy or Mark would win.

This is gorgeous! I actually didn't like my photo. It just looked like a photo with a texture on it.

I'm not surprised...

This would have been a winner in the upcoming "on the road " challenge too. I hope you've got something similar in the waiting line


It's funny I was going to suggest a road challenge whilst I was away, just as well I didn't have to. No I can't enter anything similar anymore, you know how it is..

the illusion of depth. a visual journey into mountains and then nothing. But this is a fine art challenge and I wish there were more potholes.
