Tree at Horohoro Domain

On our way back from Rotorua on Sunday we, Pam, Dawn and I, stopped at Horohoro Domain, part of Lake Karapiro on the Waikato River.

We all wanted top take a photo of this tree. As you can see the sky is so blue – we had so many different skies at the weekend

Lake Karapiro is one of several artificial lakes formed as part of a hydroelectricity scheme on the Waikato River in the North Island of New Zealand. It is located 35 kilometres southeast of Hamilton, close to the town of Cambridge.

The lake is regarded as one of New Zealand's best rowing venues and hosted the World Rowing Championships in 1978. New Zealand has been granted hosting rights for the 2010 championships, to be hosted at Karapiro.

I have NO idea what sort of tree this is - all I know is that I love the shape of it.

Hi Janice.. it was fun trying to spot these trees, and a nice one it is..I just thought I would do a workshop, and change the colour a bit... what do you think.

Good composition!

Off course well seen and technical perfect
But IMHO you can remove some of the right side
