The Cross Roads - Near Ranfurly


The railway has been pulled out of Central Otago leaving an awesome cycleway spanning hundreds of kilometers through some stunning country. This cycleway intersects with roads and highways around the region and makes for some interesting top downs...

Great focal point. Devoid of traffic (4 wheels or 2)  at that time.

And again. Cool framing as well. Had to look hard to get the perspective into my head.

Excellent composition.

Of course! It's winter down there isn't it. I was thinking it looked arid

That's some amazing use of lines and shapes in that shot.  You definitely have an eye for these types of shots.  Another awesome job Bussty.
