My Idea of Paradise.

Posted by Grahame (Mt Maunganui, New Zealand) on 23 December 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.

After yesterdays dark image heres one with far more life.
While this batch does have power theres no road in or even one near.
Access is by boat or parachute.
Marlborough Sounds, South Island, New Zealand.

Hi folks,
Hope you enjoy the Dreams.
All feedback is enjoyed.
Don't be scared if you think the image is a nightmare, I still want to hear your thoughts about it.
I've just redesigned my website so if your interested in seeing the images I've been taking wander on over for a nosey.

Enjoy,
Grahame.

Enjoy.

@Gary: Hi Gary,
We have a ferry service that runs between the North and South Islands.
Part of the journey is through part of the Marlborough Sounds.
This batch is on it's route.
The Sounds is quite an extensive area with parts of it being quite remote.
Batches like this are scattered all through the area, many with the luxury of not even having power :)

Mary from PA, United States

I'm with you!!! Looks like the perfect place!!

@Mary: Hi Mary,
The remoter parts of the Marlborough Sounds are beautiful.
There is only one downside.
Mosquito's.

Shirin Moosavi from Tehran, Iran

Can we share please! But I don't know how to use a parachute so I'm gonna go for the boat!
What a peaceful place!

@Shirin Moosavi: Hi Shirin,
Unfortunately I don't own it,
Otherwise the answer would be sure.
Turn it into an outpost for bush loving am3ers.
Enjoy.

JJ from Jersey City, United States

Had a quick look around and ensured not a cell tower in site, it does look like paradise to me, and I am sure i would love it after the first two days getting over the cold turkey withdrawal from my crack oops blackberry

@JJ: Hi JJ,
Thats sure one of the beautys of places like that, no reason for people to spend all day staring at their hand !!
Have a good one.

Benoit Darrieux from Clermont Ferrand, France

I'm not sur if I would like to live there, but why not for few days.

@Benoit Darrieux: Hi Benoit,
I don't mind the isolation, it's the over friendly mosquitoes that would drive me away.
