Lake Pearson Photo

Photographer’s Note

Lake Pearson, with its fine trout fishing, lies on the main road between Christchurch and Arthur's Pass [where the road to Greymouth crosses the Southern Alps]. Early farmers burnt off the natural forest to provide grazing for their animals. The bare eroded hills with the fine light coloured upper surfaces - shingle slides - appear almost to be covered with snow even in the summer.

Scanned from a Kodak print. PP in PhotoFiltre.

Hi Peter,
This is my kind of scenery image and I love it! The colors, the shadows across the pathway, and the way you framed the background is perfect. Great shot and thanks for sharing. Gerald
