So last week in my "unfinished" series, I posted the progress on our new house.

Here's yesterday afternoon's shots, 3 weeks in:

Things are actually happening. It's raining - heavily. Will the builders work tomorrow?
I'll keep you posted - whether you like it or not! 

It's back to school tomorrow - am I rested? relaxed? ready?   Pffft...

You all have a wonderful Monday, and a great week

TP 202: Unfinished series

I had to have another go at this theme. The builders have finally started work on our new house, so this is an unfinished series - with, I fear, a few months to go, especially given the kind of mid-winter weather we've been having....

Two weeks ago, a bare site:

Thematic Photographic 202: Series

Carmi's latest idea for TP is a series; please check out his beautiful 

pelican shots at Written.Inc

My series comes from my April trip to the South Island of New Zealand this year. 

It is autumn (fall): clear crisp days with not a cloud to be seen, not a stir of breeze. I am driving past Lake Dunstan, in a region known as Central Otago. 

It is a low-rainfall, arid area; summers are hot and dry, 

and winters very cold - and dry.

I stop to take a photo of the lake and the bare hills behind it:

There's a boat coming around a curve in the lake -

 

 

 It's people water-skiing! 

At this time of year! it may be sunny, but it's pretty cool 

outside the reach of my car heater.

  

 They sweep past and carry on down the lake...

 The wake's disappearing, and the water will soon be still again.

I haven't messed with the colours in these shots at all 

- the water really is that blue.

I'm thinking that I might print 3 of these photos, enlarged, 

and have them framed as a tryptich for a wall in our new house.

Any thoughts?
