From The Mountain to the Sea Photo

Photographer’s Note

"From the Mountain to the Sea"
"Ski till lunch Surf till dinner"
"Beneath the Mountain Beside the Sea"
All those advertising catch phrases are used to identify New Plymouth - one of the few places in the world where these two diverse activities can be undertaken on the same day. Depending on your choice only a short 1 hour drive separates the two locations.

The photo. Consideration was given to adding more snow, removing the houses etc, but this is exactly what it looked like on that day - and No the mountain has not been photoshopped into location. Stand on the lee breakwater and there it is - right between the masts.

A bright photo youve taken - with strong colours. The background mountains adds more to the photo, a beautiful place to see.

Like Plymouth remembers me Sierra Nevada in Spain, near Granada. From the snowing one`s reaches quickly the beach. For me you have concentrated in the fishing boat. In portuguese these boats are called ( Tráineiras ). As far as ones reaches the mountain properly the countryside must be a great green flat of cultivated fields. It is a pleasure to communicate with a person from that country. Greetings. Domingos
