The sailing vessel "Spirit of New Zealand" at anchor in Kawau Bay this morning.

Very nice. Looks like a postcard from a beautiful place. The foggy diffusion and calm water of the bay really set it off.

Thanks, Mark! The light and the mist, before the sun burns it away, can be magical.

Thanks, Jim. It was quite a nice morning and a refreshing change from several days of rain.

I agree, it looks like a painting. Nice.
I've been too NZ once, that is the most beautiful place I've been, so beautiful that the scenes before my eyes actually looks fake, they can look like a giant piece of canvas or an over saturated photograph. Very impressive landscape that you have over there!

Thanks, Navyblue! The air is clean and the color can be amazing. The light changes rapidly, too. People sometimes accuse me of over-saturating images that are basically straight captures, but it's just New Zealand. I prefer saturated color. Guess I'm in the right place.

Hey! I've seen this picture before! How many shots of this same picture do you have?? Is this one of those "photo per day" things, where you shoot the same thing every day for years? ;-P
Perfect placement of the boat, by the way, to meet this week's topic! I am distracted by the only color in the shot though, that green patch of grass. I'd probably either reframe to remove that, or desaturate it in post, and maybe sharpen the boat a bit....
