Festival of Lights

For the technically minded:
Pictures were taken using a Pentax MZ10 camera with 35-80 lens and Kodak ASA400 film. Exposure times were between 2 & 6 seconds.

Stanton Dell A view of the path to Stantom Dell and the shade houses.

The Pirate Ship Hidden in the Dell is Captain Hooks ship.

Begonias in the shade house The display of flowers is impressive in daylight, really amazing under coloured floods & flouros.

Ferns in the shade house The ferns take on a surreal appearance under the lights.

The Lake from Poets Bridge Hire a lighted rowboat and check out the lights from the water.

The Lake from the Lookout A view of the main lake from taken from a lookout at great personel risk as the stairs up to it were not lit!

Tree Frens A group of tree ferns and a large rimu tree are lit in this display on the path around the lower lake (My favorite pic from this set)

The Waterfall The Waterfall is lit by lights under each cascade.

Stanton Dell The Stanton Dell lawn is lit by a revolving mirror ball, unfortunately impossible to capture on film.

At the Waterfall A group of young folks who mistook me for a serious photographer and wanted their picture taken. If you know who they are let them know they have at least been published!
