In honor of my Seven Wonders of New Zealand, today’s photo is probably the one photo I’ve taken which belongs on a motivational poster. If you notice, you have a seagull, a rainbow and a waterfall. Those from the Successories Corporation who wish to contact me can do so via email.

This picture makes me want to go back to Milford Sound. When I was there it was so foggy you could barely see 5 feet in front of you and yet it was still beautiful. New Zealand is a great country.
Incredible photo Gary. Did you learn photography along the way on this trip or have you had prior experience?
I knew nothing about photography before my trip. I have never read a book or taken a course. I've learned everything via taking lots and lots of photos. I cringe at some of my early photos from my trip, especially in Hawaii. I'm slowly getting better. I think i've taken close to 20,000 photos on my trip.
Are you positive that is not a postcard? It is an incredible photo. The kind of photo that requires instrumental music playing in the background while looking at it! I knew that New Zealand was beautiful, but this photo really inspires me to visit there soon! Thanks for posting!
ha! very nice shot, even though it does belong on a calendar.
i absolutely love what you are doing, i am sortof following suit. thanks for being inspirational.
You should just make your own motivational poster using http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/motivator.php
It's almost a Jonathan Livingston Seagull moment. I especially love the rainbow.
