Weekly Photo Challenge : Reflections

It may be something to do with the clean air, but New Zealand has provided many wonderful photo opportunities. This has been true of cloud formations as well as the spectacular scenery. We expected great reflections when we visited the Mirror Lakes in New Zealand’s Fiordland. A gentle zephyr was slightly disturbing the surface.

Still in the South Island of New Zealand, the best images of reflections that I collected were at the Millbrook Resort, adjacent to the renowned golf course, near Queenstown in Central Otago

Weekly Photo Challenge : Inside

From inside the fortress, the city of Salzburg can be seen from many vantage points.

From deeper inside the fortress, can be found displays of archaeological investigations which reveal an early chapel and a stone oven, the latter of which probably dates from the Romans.

The Hohensalzburg Fortress stands proud over the city of Salzburg. It dates from 1077, although it was enlarged in 1495-1519. It claims to be the largest fully preserved fortress in central Europe. It is also claimed that, during its long history, it has never been conquered by enemy troops.
