I took this shot just outside of Queenstown on the way to Arrowtown, which is part of Otago District .... sorry I forgot the name of this place.
Although the climate conditions in Otago is not as good as in Nelson District, this part of New Zealand produces the best Pinot wines in the country. Some say it is the harsh conditions of the area that gave the pinot wine that award winning taste. If you love wines, NZ has plenty of botique wineries open to the public for wine tasting and dining.

Morning, Neighbour!

What a striking shot - with the b&w treatment the sky looks surreal, especially compared with the white scattering of snow across the hills. Fantastic depth of field, good strong contrasts throughout.

ciao Renier..
I think b&w is your element. and i have to admit that i like your style.. coloured image is more alive.. however i appreciate the dark mood of this capture.. it looks like a negative and it's effective!! about wine.. i have to admit.. that i really like it.. expecially french and italian quality wine!! ;)) thanks

Hi Renier,

When I saw the thumbnail version, it made a strange mood... a place that has some magic..
Good choice for the B/W.

Wonderful in colour Renier and this one converted very nicely. Excellent detail, well composed and nice foreground textures. The very small part of NZ I did visit (apart from Wellington and Auckland airports) was around Blenheim in the Marlborough wine district. TFS,

Ansel Adams returns. :0)
This has the feel of his famous photos; very nice work.
The black and white treatment is amazing here as are the combination of shapes and forms and shadows.
I like the POV of the picture that puts the view right on the road just before it turns into the vineyard and how the eye is pulled into the depth of the photo.
Really gorgeous, thanks for the view and sharing.

Hi Renier,
Wonderful vertical presentation of this unique vineyard. The winding road bring very effective depth as it winds towards the wonderful lines of the cultivated fields, lovely homes and the barren hillside. Beautiful clearness and razor sharp details to this unine b&w image.
Regards, Tom
