    Clouds, rain, running water, mountains and greenery

    A few scenes from an area I've spent time travelling around lately. The water in the rivers up here is so clean, cows and horses roam freely and it's like being in a different world.

    Nice scenery Grahame. The first shot is the best IMO. It has some nice contrast and a good composition with the meandering stream leading you through the scene to the mountain gap in the distance.

    Grahame, these are lovely landscapes and the weather conditions offer a great alternative to the normal postcard view one has of Fiji - you know, white sands, clear waters and cloudless skies. These have their own aesthetic and you have expressed that really well IMHO.

    Thanks Dave, for some reason the second is my favourite.

    Thank you Trev. I have shot very few of the 'normal postcard' pics over the years I've been here, primarily due to the extensive inter island travel required but also they are so common.

    The area these come from I can cover in a days driving and I'm coming to the conclusion that the 'wet' cloudy conditions can be used to an advantage. What I really want to try is night shooting up there as there will be no light pollution, but at present we still have curfew from 11pm to 4am.
