After Sunday's spectacular sunrise, I still had enough room left on the camera's memory card to stop on the drive home for some stereotypical kiwi farming shots. All three below were shot standing in the same spot. The old cottage and tree were the reason for stopping though. Its the third time I've photographed this scene. The first two times were in the evening and I never quite got the right light. This time I arrived no more than five minutes from the moment when the first rays of sun touched the top branches of the tree, and stayed until it had reached the base of the hut twenty minutes later. Finally I caught the scene the way I was picturing it in my mind. The second shot below is this weeks desktop wallpaper.
